FNSKU barcode placement
Verifies the FNSKU label is on the outermost packaging, scannable, correctly oriented, and matches the SKU mapping in Seller Central. Wrong FNSKU = Amazon receives but cannot list.
Polybag suffocation warning
Mandatory for any polybag ≥5 inches in width. Warning text, font size and language verified to current Amazon FBA standards.
Outer carton labelling
Box ID, 'Made in India' country-of-origin, Ship-From / Ship-To addresses, FBA shipment ID, and box-on-pallet count — all verified per current FBA requirements.
Carton dimensions & weight
Maximum 25 inches / 50 lb for standard FBA inbound (heavier limits for oversized). Avoids the $0.30–$2/unit Amazon prep / repack chargeback at the FC.
Bundle / multipack integrity
Multipack bundles must be sold as a single unit with a unique FNSKU. Verifies bundle is shrink-wrapped, labelled 'Sold as Set, Do Not Separate' where applicable.
AQL 2.5 product inspection
Full product-level inspection alongside FBA prep checks — workmanship, dimensions, function, appearance against approved sample. Same trip, single fee.
Why FBA sellers inspect in India, not at the FC
Avoids the $0.30–$2/unit FBA chargeback
Amazon's Unplanned Service Fees for relabelling, re-polybagging or repackaging at the FC can wipe out a private-label margin overnight. Catching it in India costs $0.05/unit.
Prevents 'unfulfillable' inventory at the FC
Missing or damaged FNSKU labels are the #1 cause of inventory being marked unfulfillable on Amazon. A 24-hour FBA inspection in India eliminates this risk before container loading.
Protects your Amazon account health
Recurring FBA prep issues trigger Account Health warnings and product suppressions. Inspection reports document compliance — useful for Seller Performance appeals.

We inspect to FBA US, FBA UK, FBA DE, FBA FR, FBA IT, FBA ES, FBA JP and FBA AU specifications. Polybag warnings adjusted for marketplace language.
FBA inspection FAQs
What is Amazon FBA inspection in India?
Amazon FBA inspection in India is a third-party quality and prep inspection of FBA-bound goods at the Indian factory — before they're sealed in cartons and shipped. It verifies both product quality (AQL 2.5 / 1.5 sampling) and FBA-specific prep requirements: FNSKU barcode placement, polybag suffocation warnings, carton labelling, carton dimensions/weight, and bundle/multipack integrity. Conducting this in India is 5–20× cheaper than letting Amazon's FBA prep team handle it at the FC.
What FBA prep can be done at the factory in India?
Almost all standard FBA prep can be done at the Indian factory: FNSKU label application, polybag with suffocation warning, bubble wrap, outer carton labelling, multipack bundling, expiry-date labelling for consumables, and palletisation. The only prep typically not done in India is Amazon's 'live animal' or hazmat-specific prep. We coordinate prep work with the factory and inspect the result before container loading.
How much does FBA inspection in India cost?
$220–$280 per inspector per 8-hour man-day. One man-day covers up to ~5,000 units of a single SKU. Compared to Amazon's $0.30/unit relabelling fee or $1.50–$2/unit repackaging fee at the FC, factory inspection in India pays for itself with as little as 500–1,000 units inspected.
Can you inspect Amazon UK and EU FBA shipments?
Yes. We inspect to FBA US, UK, DE, FR, IT, ES, JP and AU specifications. Polybag suffocation warnings are checked in the correct marketplace language. We also verify UKCA marking for UK FBA (post-Brexit) and CE marking for EU FBA where applicable.
Do you also test for Amazon's product safety requirements (CPSC, CE, UKCA)?
Yes. We coordinate CPSC, FDA, CPSIA, FCC (US), CE / UKCA / REACH (UK/EU), and PSE (Japan) lab testing through accredited labs (SGS, Bureau Veritas, Intertek, TÜV) in India. Test reports become part of the FBA inspection package — useful for Amazon's category-specific compliance gating.
