description: Build a product-specific Amazon FBA prep, labeling, packing, and shipment-readiness plan. Use when a seller asks how to prepare units for FBA, choose barcode and labeling steps, plan poly-bagging, bubble wrap, sets, case packs, cartons, dangerous-goods review, supplier or prep-center instructions, or prevent receiving delays. Do not use as a substitute for current Seller Central requirements.

# Amazon FBA Prep

Convert product and shipment facts into a traceable unit-prep specification, carton plan, handoff checklist, and final go/hold decision before inventory is sent to Amazon.

## Installation

```bash
npx skills add nexscope-ai/Amazon-Skills --skill amazon-fba-prep -g
```

## Capabilities

- Build a SKU-level prep and labeling matrix.
- Identify product attributes that trigger additional review or preparation.
- Plan barcode choice, label placement, unit packaging, sets, case packs, and carton QA.
- Create supplier, factory, warehouse, or prep-center work instructions.
- Compare self-prep, supplier prep, prep-center, and available Amazon service options.
- Produce a shipment-readiness audit with evidence, owners, and blocking issues.

## Usage Examples

```text
Walk me through FBA prep for 500 glass water bottles.
```

```text
Create a supplier-ready prep sheet for this three-piece kitchen bundle.
```

```text
I have apparel, cosmetics, and battery-powered items. Tell me which SKUs need separate FBA prep verification.
```

```text
Audit my first FBA shipment plan and flag anything that could delay receiving.
```

## Inputs and Collection

Use supplied evidence first. Collect:

- target Amazon marketplace, ship-from location, account access, and shipment workflow status;
- SKU, ASIN, FNSKU or other barcode data, quantity, condition, and ownership of each unit;
- exact product type, included items, set or multipack status, dimensions, weight, and packaging dimensions;
- materials, fragility, sharp edges, liquids, powders, textiles, small parts, expiration dates, lot controls, magnets, batteries, chemicals, temperature sensitivity, and regulated claims;
- current retail packaging, visible barcodes, labels, seals, openings, and scannability;
- individual or case-packed configuration, carton counts, carton dimensions/weights, pallet use, and carrier plan;
- who will prep, label, inspect, photograph, and approve the shipment.

If essential fields are missing, ask one consolidated follow-up. Continue with an incomplete checklist only when every assumption and blocked decision is clearly marked.

## Workflow

### 1. Establish the Evidence Boundary

State what was inspected: product specification, packaging photos, barcode files, compliance documents, Seller Central instructions, shipment plan, carton labels, or provider quote.

Classify each finding:

- **Confirmed:** supported by inspected evidence or current official instructions.
- **Needs verification:** plausible, but requires the target marketplace's Seller Central workflow or current official source.
- **Blocked:** missing information could make the prep plan unsafe or noncompliant.

Do not infer that a product is non-hazardous, unrestricted, non-expiring, or standard-size because the seller did not mention otherwise.

### 2. Run the Product Attribute Triage

For every SKU, explicitly screen for:

- liquid, gel, cream, powder, granular, or aerosol contents;
- glass, ceramic, sharp, fragile, crushable, or leak-prone parts;
- apparel, textiles, plush, footwear, jewelry, or exposed surfaces;
- loose pieces, sets, multipacks, bundles, or items requiring assembly;
- batteries, electronics, magnets, chemicals, or dangerous-goods indicators;
- expiration, best-before, lot, serial, temperature, or shelf-life controls;
- adult products, children's products, food, supplements, cosmetics, medical, or other regulated categories;
- existing UPC/EAN/ISBN, Amazon barcode, Transparency code, serial label, or other scannable marks.

Route any positive result to the current product-specific requirements. Do not reuse a generic prep decision across variants without confirming that their attributes match.

### 3. Select and Verify Identification

Document the barcode path shown in Seller Central for the SKU. Amazon may use manufacturer barcodes, Amazon barcodes, or other program-specific codes depending on product and account eligibility.

For each unit:

- identify the required scannable code and source file;
- confirm that the label text matches SKU, condition, and product;
- specify who prints and applies the label;
- place it on a flat, readable surface and outside any final prep layer when required;
- identify other barcodes that must remain visible, be covered, or be rendered unscannable;
- run a scan test after final packaging.

Never generate, alter, or assign identifiers from guesswork.

### 4. Define Unit Preparation

Write a per-SKU instruction that covers:

- final sellable unit and what the customer should receive;
- primary packaging and closure method;
- required bagging, wrapping, boxing, sealing, cushioning, or set labeling;
- protection for leakage, sharp edges, breakage, dust, and loose parts;
- warning, expiration, suffocation, lot, or other labels only when current rules require them;
- barcode position after preparation;
- drop, leak, seal, scan, or visual QA tests appropriate to the item;
- acceptable evidence photo for completion.

Use the latest target-marketplace requirements for dimensions, material thickness, warning language, tests, and thresholds. Do not hard-code values when Seller Central can apply a SKU-specific instruction.

### 5. Plan Packing and Shipment Creation

Keep unit prep separate from carton packing and shipment creation.

For cartons:

- distinguish individual products from case-packed inventory;
- record units per carton, mixed-SKU status, dimensions, weight, and void-fill method;
- protect retail units without making final units unscannable;
- remove, cover, or in
