Strategic Location

HCC2/SCCA sits in Ghoramara, Rishra, Simla in Hooghly District, just northwest of Kolkata, within a mature industrial and residential belt served by arterial roads and rail lines that parallel the Hooghly River. The area connects efficiently into the Kolkata metropolitan road network, including routes towards Dankuni, Howrah and the wider NH network that links West Bengal to eastern and northern India. Proximity to Kolkata Port and regional ICDs, combined with dense last-mile distribution capacity around Kolkata, supports reliable multi-shift operations, predictable dock turns and appointment adherence for inbound carriers.

Operational Specifications for HCC2/SCCA

• Booking and Hours

  • Operating Window: According to the India FA Shipment Preparation and Transportation Manual, SCCA operates all 7 days, with two primary shifts:

    • Shift 1: 09:00–18:00 (local time)

    • Shift 2: 21:00–06:00 (local time)
      Actual receiving availability follows the slot confirmed in your Carrier Central appointment and may vary by day, load type and season.

• Receiving Hours

  • Mode: By appointment only (India Standard Time), aligned to your confirmed Carrier Central slot and the above shift structure.

• 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:

    • 24–32 ft and 32–40 ft enclosed rigid trucks and trailers commonly used on Hooghly / Kolkata urban and peri-urban corridors, loaded to permit pallet-truck or forklift access and safe unloading.

    • Trucks feeding from ICDs or cross-docks handling import flows from Kolkata / Haldia ports, delivered as palletised or structured floor-loaded loads.

  • 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.

• 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 or protruding nails), 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 SCCA.

  • 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, fully scannable at ground level and clearly showing the Ship-to FC code SCCA.

  • 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.

  • Floor-Loaded / FCL:

    • When routing floor-loaded containers or trailers for rework to HCC2/SCCA via local partners or ICDs, 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.

  • 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.
