Amazon FBA publishes specific pallet and shipping requirements for suppliers. The table summarizes the commonly published rules — always confirm against the current routing guide before shipping; requirements change and vary by facility, and chargebacks enforce them.
| Requirement | Typical rule |
|---|---|
| Pallet type | GMA 48 × 40 in, 4-way entry, wood, Grade B or higher |
| Max height | 72 in including the pallet (single, non-stackable) |
| Max weight | 1,500 lb per pallet |
| Overhang | None permitted |
| Labels | 4 FBA pallet labels, one per side; carton labels on every box |
| TI-HI | Declared during shipment creation in Seller Central |

Amazon receives palletized freight by appointment through Carrier Central; floor-loaded containers are accepted at some FCs when booked that way. Clamp-truck-only FCs have extra rules for stretch-wrap.
