Amazon FBA
Selling on Amazon from outside the U.S.?
Since January 1, 2026, Amazon no longer preps or labels inventory for sellers in the U.S. store. Your units need to arrive ready. We prep and label them in Southern California and send them on to Amazon fulfillment centers.

How we handle your goods.
When your goods arrive
We count cartons or units against your packing list, check for visible damage and photograph any issue. If anything doesn't match, we let you know.
Insurance
Abanro is insured. We recommend you also keep cargo and inventory coverage for your goods, and we can help you arrange it.
Damage in transit
Damage caused by a carrier is claimed against that carrier. We document what we see on arrival so your claim has the evidence it needs.
Customs
We are not a customs broker or importer of record. We coordinate clearance with your broker, or with a licensed customs broker we work with.
Questions
Can I use Abanro if my company is outside the U.S.?
Yes. That is who we built Abanro for. You ship through Los Angeles or Long Beach, we handle the U.S. side, and our team is there 24/7. We respond within 6 hours.
Do I need a U.S. company to work with you?
Not to use our services. Every import into the U.S. needs an importer of record, and a company outside the U.S. can usually act as its own importer of record through a customs broker. We coordinate with your broker, or with a licensed broker we work with.
Can you prepare inventory for Amazon FBA?
Yes. We receive, inspect, label with FNSKU, bag or wrap as needed, bundle, pack cartons, and forward to Amazon fulfillment centers.
Do you handle customs clearance?
We coordinate it. Clearance is filed by a licensed customs broker, either yours or one we work with. Abanro is not a customs broker or importer of record.
Can you forward inventory to a distributor, retailer or 3PL?
Yes. We ship by parcel, LTL or pallet to Amazon, 3PLs, distributors, retailers, wholesale customers or your own warehouse, and arrange pickups.
Do you accept food, supplements and cosmetics?
Yes, these are important categories for us. Some regulated products need review before we accept them, so we check each shipment at the quote stage and tell you what we need.
How does pricing work?
We publish starting prices for each service, and each one says what it includes. Your quote depends on volume, dimensions, handling, packaging, storage time and destination. Email price@abanro.com for a quote.
Do I have to use the Abanro software?
No. The workspace is optional. Many customers use it to manage buyers, follow-up and trade documents, but our services work the same without it.
