Zoll- & Dokumentationsanforderungen
All FBA shipments from China require formal CBP entry (CBP Form 7501) — the de minimis Section 321 exemption for Chinese-origin goods has been suspended under 2025 IEEPA executive orders. ISF must be filed 24 hours before loading. DDP (Delivered Duty Paid) means the importer of record (you or your designated customs broker) is responsible for all US duties and taxes. Amazon is NOT the importer of record for seller inventory — the seller must have a US EIN or use a US importer of record service. Section 301 tariffs apply to virtually all consumer goods from China. CPSC compliance certificates are required for children's products.
Aktuelle Tarifinformationen
Amazon FBA products from China face Section 301 tariffs ranging from 7.5% (List 4A consumer goods) to 25% (Lists 1–3 for many product categories) on top of MFN rates. As of 2025, IEEPA additional tariffs have raised effective rates further. The suspension of de minimis (Section 321) for Chinese goods means all FBA inventory — regardless of value — is subject to duties. Sellers should factor total landed cost (product cost + freight + tariffs + FBA fees) when evaluating China-sourced products. First-sale valuation, product design changes, and alternative sourcing countries (Vietnam, Indien) are strategies to consider.

Häufig gestellte Fragen
How do I ship from China to Amazon FBA warehouses?
The standard process for shipping from China to Amazon FBA: (1) Factory produces and packs goods per Amazon FBA requirements; (2) Create Amazon Shipment Plan to get assigned FBA warehouse(s) and Box/Pallet IDs; (3) Book freight (FCL, LCL, or air) with Suaid Global; (4) File ISF 24 Stunden before vessel departure; (5) Customs clearance upon arrival; (6) Truck delivery to Amazon FC. Suaid Global manages steps 3–6 including FBA prep if needed.
What is DDP shipping for Amazon FBA from China?
DDP (Delivered Duty Paid) means the freight forwarder handles all costs including freight, US customs duties (including Section 301 tariffs), and final delivery to Amazon's warehouse. You pay one all-inclusive price. The alternative is DAP/DDU where you pay duties separately. DDP simplifies accounting and avoids surprise duty bills at the port, but requires the forwarder to act as or arrange an Importer of Record. Suaid Global offers DDP service to Amazon FCs across the USA.
Can I use the de minimis exemption to avoid duties on China FBA shipments?
No. As of 2025, the Section 321 de minimis exemption ($800 duty-free threshold) has been suspended for goods of Chinese origin under IEEPA executive orders. This means all China-sourced FBA inventory — even low-value items — requires a formal CBP entry and payment of applicable duties, including Section 301 tariffs. This significantly impacts small sellers who previously relied on de minimis importing.
What FBA prep requirements must Chinese factories meet?
Amazon FBA has strict receiving requirements: cartons must be labeled with Amazon Box ID labels (FBA Shipment label); individual units need FNSKU barcodes (not manufacturer UPC unless approved); poly-bagging required for items that could be damaged or are loose; bubble wrap for fragile items; pallet requirements for floor-loaded restrictions. Many Chinese factories are unfamiliar with FBA requirements — Suaid Global provides FBA prep services at our partner facilities in the USA or China.
Should I use ocean FCL or LCL for Amazon FBA shipments from China?
FCL (Full Container Load) makes sense when your shipment fills at least 15 CBM, you have established selling velocity, and cost-per-unit optimization is the priority. LCL is better for new sellers testing products, mixed SKU shipments, and inventory under 15 CBM. FCL also offers better protection (your goods are not mixed with other shippers' cargo) and typically arrives faster. For FBA, note that Amazon may assign multiple warehouses — LCL is sometimes easier for split shipments.
What are the risks of shipping directly from China to Amazon FBA?
Key risks include: Section 301 tariffs (substantial cost impact at 7.5–25%+); Amazon receiving refusal if FBA prep standards are not met; ISF filing errors causing CBP holds; country-of-origin issues if goods are not truly Chinese-manufactured; CPSC compliance failures for consumer products; seasonal capacity constraints (Q3–Q4). Suaid Global mitigates these risks through pre-departure compliance checks, FBA prep services, and experienced customs brokerage.
