• Cargo Preparation

  • Pallets:

    • Use Japanese T11 standard pallets (approx. 1,100 mm × 1,100 mm, four-way entry), the standard domestic pallet size in Japan.

    • High-quality wooden or plastic T11 pallets are common; many shippers use plastic 1100 × 1100 mm pallets for hygiene and compatibility with Japanese handling equipment.

    • Keep pallet weight around 1,000 kg or less, and limit pallet height to roughly ≤1.8 m including the pallet, unless otherwise agreed, in line with typical Japanese warehouse safety limits.

  • Box & Pallet Labels:

    • Each carton requires a unique FBA Box ID label generated in Seller Central (.co.jp).

    • For partnered small-parcel carriers (such as Yamato, Sagawa, or Japan Post), place the FBA Box ID label and the carrier label together on a flat side of the box, not over corners or edges, to keep them fully scannable.

    • Each pallet requires four FBA pallet labels (one per side), applied outside the stretch wrap, upright and unobstructed so barcodes can be scanned easily from ground level.

  • Wrapping & Stability:

    • Use clear stretch wrap applied with even tension; build stable, cubic loads with no overhang beyond pallet edges.

    • Anchor wrap firmly to the pallet base and secure all film tails.

    • Use corner boards, straps or bands, and layer pads where needed so pallets remain stable during road transport and dock handling at KIX2.

  • Floor-Loaded / FCL:

    • For ocean or air imports delivered as floor-loaded units, follow the current Amazon Japan shipping and routing requirements for carton weight, dimensions, stacking, and safe unloading.

    • In practice, many flows into KIX2 are deconsolidated onto pallets before arrival. Any floor- or fluid-loaded solution must be explicitly aligned with the Amazon Japan inbound manual and documented in Carrier Central notes. Poorly prepared or unsafe loads may be delayed, reworked at the shipper’s cost, or refused at receiving.

  • Slip Sheets:

    • Only where explicitly permitted by current Amazon Japan guidance and clearly confirmed in appointment details. If there is no prior agreement to handle slip sheets, plan to deliver on compliant pallets into KIX2.
