Seamless Amazon 3PL Solutions
Streamline Your Amazon Supply Chain from Supplier Dock to FC Door
Managing inventory distribution across international borders can be one of the most complex hurdles for Amazon sellers. Non-compliant packaging, inaccurate barcode labeling, or late ISF filings can result in costly Amazon FC inventory rejections and stranded stock.
At SHIPIT Logistics®, we operate as your trusted U.S. 3PL partner and licensed ocean/air freight forwarder. We manage the entire pipeline: picking up freight directly from overseas factories, managing ocean (FCL/LCL) or air transport, filing ISF (10+2), executing U.S. Customs clearance, devanning containers at our U.S. facilities, and completing full FBA prep before final-mile delivery to Amazon Fulfillment Centers nationwide.
- Zero Amazon Rejection Guarantee: Every unit is inspected, labeled, and packed to survive robotic sorting and rigorous drop tests.
- Full-Service Logistics: Combined ocean/air forwarding, customs brokerage, ISF filing, and 3PL prep under one roof.
- Buffer Storage Control: Avoid Amazon's high long-term storage surcharges by holding buffer inventory in our U.S. warehouses.

Trade Compliance & Drayage
ISF Filing, Customs Clearance & Port Drayage
Navigating U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) regulations is vital to preventing port holds and severe financial penalties.
ISF (10+2) Filing: For ocean shipments, Importer Security Filing must be transmitted at least 24 hours prior to loading at the foreign port. SHIPIT handles ISF filings in-house to safeguard your shipments against CBP penalties (up to $5,000 per violation).
U.S. Customs Brokerage: Our licensed customs brokers determine accurate HTS classifications, calculate duties and taxes, and manage entry clearances smoothly.
Port Drayage & Fleet Transport: With established carrier transport at major ports (Los Angeles/Long Beach, NY/NJ, and more), we transfer your containers rapidly from port docks to our prep facilities, bypassing expensive port demurrage and detention fees.
Frequently Asked Questions
Amazon FBA Prep & Shipping FAQs
Answers to common questions from international manufacturers and Amazon sellers.
Why should international sellers use a 3PL for Amazon FBA prep in the U.S.?
Shipping directly from overseas factories to Amazon FCs often leads to severe penalties, rejected shipments, or stranded inventory due to non-compliant labeling or packaging. A U.S. 3PL like SHIPIT Logistics inspects, devans, labels, and palletizes goods to match exact Amazon guidelines before final delivery, preventing costly rejections.
What specific Amazon FBA prep services does SHIPIT Logistics provide?
We offer complete FBA prep including FNSKU barcode application, suffocation warning labeling, polybagging, bundling/sold-as-set packaging, carton dimensioning and weighing, palletization to Amazon specifications, quality control inspection, and temporary buffer storage.
Can SHIPIT handle both international freight forwarding and customs clearance for Amazon imports?
Yes. As an FMC-licensed NVOCC and licensed Customs Broker, SHIPIT manages ocean (FCL/LCL) and air freight from foreign supplier docks, ISF (10+2) filing, U.S. Customs clearance, port drayage to our facilities, prep work, and final delivery to Amazon FCs.
How does SHIPIT help avoid Amazon inventory storage surcharges?
Amazon charges high long-term storage fees and strict inventory placement limits. SHIPIT provides cost-effective buffer warehousing on both U.S. coasts, allowing sellers to drip-feed inventory into Amazon FCs on demand to maintain optimal inventory performance indexes (IPI).
