Amazon FBA Inspection Services
Ensuring Full Compliance with Amazon’s Preparation, Packaging & Quality Requirements in 100 Countries
Pro QC International supports Amazon sellers, private-label brands, and importers by providing specialized Amazon FBA inspection services in more than 100 countries.
FBA inspections verify product quality, packaging integrity, labeling accuracy, and overall compliance before goods are dispatched to Amazon fulfillment centers. Because Amazon enforces strict receiving requirements and maintains a low tolerance for defects, shipments must meet standards that are often more demanding than those in traditional retail channels.
A dedicated Amazon FBA inspection helps ensure that your products comply with Amazon’s preparation and packaging guidelines, reducing the risk of inbound shipment rejections, unexpected penalties, and operational delays. With this solution, sellers protect their inventory, avoid costly rework, and maintain strong account performance within Amazon’s ecosystem.
What Are Amazon FBA Inspections?
An Amazon FBA inspection is a third-party quality control and compliance service that verifies whether a shipment meets Amazon’s requirements regarding product quality, labeling, packaging, and handling. It is typically performed when goods are 100% produced and at least 80% packed, following recognized inspection methodologies and Amazon’s FBA prep guidelines.
This specialized inspection ensures that shipments arrive at Amazon FCs without rejection, penalty fees, or re-labeling requirements.
Compared with standard pre-shipment inspections, Amazon FBA inspections include additional Amazon-specific compliance checks, such as:
- FNSKU verification
- Amazon prep requirement validation
- Carton weight and dimensions compliance
- Expiration labeling for regulated categories
- Packaging protection for fragile items
- Multipack and bundle integrity
- ISTA-compliant drop-testing
- Product safety and regulatory requirements
