When shipping to Amazon FBA by sea, shippers must consider container tare limits, carrier weight policies, and terminal restrictions. Exceeding any limit may cause rejection, delays, or extra charges.
1. Container structural limit
Verify the container's maximum payload. Overloading can damage the box and lead to terminal rejection.
2. Carrier weight policy
Each carrier applies different weight rules based on vessel balance and capacity. Confirm the current policy before loading.
3. Terminal limit
Port and yard equipment has load limits. Check terminal requirements in advance to avoid handling issues.
