• Cargo Preparation

  • Pallets (U.S. standard):

    • Use 40" × 48", 4-way access wooden pallets suited to high-throughput sortation operations

    • Avoid damaged or non-standard pallets that could require rework or be refused at receiving

  • Box & Pallet Labels:

    • Each carton requires a unique FBA Box ID label generated from your Amazon shipment plan

    • Each pallet requires four FBA pallet labels (one per side), applied on the outside of the stretch wrap, upright and fully scannable at the dock

  • Wrapping & Stability:

    • Use clear stretch wrap so labels remain visible and unobstructed

    • No product overhang beyond the pallet footprint

    • Build stable, square loads with heavier cartons at the bottom; use corner boards and strapping/banding where appropriate to keep loads stable during transit and unloading

  • Floor-Loaded / FCL:

    • Floor-loaded containers and trailers must follow Amazon’s Floor Loading Policy, including limits on stack height, carton weight, and mixed-SKU loading

    • Clearly indicate any floor-loaded inbound in your Carrier Central booking so CLT5 can plan appropriate labor and unloading resources and minimize dock delays

  • Slip Sheets:

    • Only use slip sheets where permitted by Amazon guidance and explicitly confirmed in the appointment notes; otherwise plan for standard palletized unloading
