Vehicle Requirements
Carrier Profile: Active carrier profile and confirmed Carrier Central appointment are mandatory.
Dock Access: Dock-high, rear unloading at a standard bay (no side unloading or ground-level hand-unload at the dock).
Typical Inbound Equipment:
32–40 ft enclosed rigid trucks and trailers suited to Chennai urban / suburban operations and the Arcot Road / Poonamallee High Road / Chennai Bypass corridors, loaded to permit pallet-truck or forklift access and safe unloading.
Driver Documentation & Conduct:
Driver must present BOL/manifest and any required Delivery Challan / Stock Transfer Notetogether with the appointment reference.
Driver must follow all on-site safety, PPE and yard-movement rules communicated at the gate or by yard staff.
Floor-Loaded / FCL:
When routing floor-loaded containers or trailers for rework to MAA5 via local partners or cross-docks, follow Amazon’s India fulfilment centre inbound shipment acceptance guidelines on carton weight, stacking stability and unloadability.
Clearly note “floor-loaded” and any special unload requirements in your Carrier Central appointment; non-compliant floor-loaded shipments may experience longer unload times, rework charges or refusal at the dock.
Cargo Preparation
- Pallets:
- Standard four-way access wooden pallets of approx. 1200 mm × 1000 mm, in line with Amazon India LTL / truckload delivery guidance.
- Typical India FBA working limits: around 1.6–1.66 m total pallet height and up to ~1,000 kg gross weight per pallet, unless otherwise agreed in advance.
- Pallets must be structurally sound (no broken boards, protruding nails or unsafe repairs), with cartons kept fully within the pallet footprint to avoid damage and potential refusals.
- Pallets are non-exchange; plan your packaging and carrier pricing on the basis that pallets remain at MAA5.
- Slip Sheets:
- Only to be used where explicitly permitted in current Amazon India FBA guidance and pre-agreed in the Carrier Central appointment notes; otherwise, plan deliveries on standard wooden pallets
- Box & Pallet Labels:
- Each carton requires a unique FBA Box ID label generated in Seller Central India (amazon.in marketplace) for the shipment; remove or fully cover any other scannable barcodes on the outer carton.
- Each pallet requires four FBA pallet labels (one per side), applied outside the stretch wrap, scannable at ground level and clearly showing the Ship-to FC code MAA5.
- Wrapping & Stability:
- Clear stretch wrap securing every layer; no overhang beyond the pallet footprint.
- Use corner boards, straps or extra wrap for tall, heavy or mixed-SKU pallets to prevent shifting or collapse during transit and unloading.
- Clearly mark heavy cartons according to India inbound acceptance rules (commonly using a threshold around 22.5 kg) so that “heavy” warnings are visible from multiple sides and on the top layer where required.
