When you are a new seller doing FBA, you will firstly need to carefully review all Amazon help files, which include detailed instructions, videos and guidelines concerning every step of the process.
Start with the general Amazon FBA help page in Amazon Seller Central. Here you can click on the terms highlighted in blue to read more if there is something which isn’t clear to you or in case you would like to learn more.
Also, if you are going to import goods from outside the US, you will need to be the importer of record and responsible for covering all customs duties and taxes.
The good thing is that in the US, duty-free customs value threshold is quite high – up to $1000, which means that unless you are shipping a large shipment, you won’t have to worry about duties.
Research whether the products don’t violate anyone’s intellectual property rights and keep in mind that you won’t be able to attach your offer against someone else’s established private label ASIN but you will need to create your own one, using your own barcode purchased from GS1 or request an exemption.
Be prepared that Amazon may request you to provide them valid invoices to verify the authenticity of your inventory anytime, without any prior complaints from customers. Chinese invoices are rarely accepted, that’s why it would be better to start with some products purchased from EU/US manufacturer’s instead.
I hope you found this article helpful. Many Amazon sellers recently started trading stocks and crypto currencies, hoping to diversify their income, which is a very good idea with all the uncertainty which comes with the platform. For this reason, we launched a new Facebook group, Crypto Arbitrage Income (Bitcoin, Crypto, Altcoins, Blockchain, Trading) – feel free to join us and forget about the troubles of selling on Amazon for a moment!
