Summary

You know the drill,  it's Compliance Content Corner Tuesday.   

We've had a lot of questions from clients recently regarding their goods being refused entry and returned from FBA.  

So Andy is here to cover 3 vital aspects of shipping to Amazon that do have some regulations surrounding them that require adhering to.
1 - Importer of record
2 - Pallets Differences: UK and Euro
3- Boxes  

For more information on the correct FBA shipment creation process check out the video at the below link. https://sellercentral.amazon.co.uk/gp/help/help.html?itemID=200249180&productpacking

Hopefully this will help clear up any confusion you may be having regarding this aspect of your expansions and ensure you do not encounter the same problems as our clients asking these very questions...
