Shipping Amazon Products to USA from China — FBA & DDP Guide

How Amazon sellers ship products from China to the USA: FBA prep compliance, mode selection, duties in DDP and fulfillment-center delivery.

XCJD Logistics is a China-based international freight forwarder founded in 2011 that ships Amazon products from China to the USA — 15+ years, 8,000+ shipments, 150+ destinations.

Direct Answer

Amazon products ship from China to the USA in three steps: FBA-compliant prep (FNSKU labeling, carton checks, GMA pallets) when going to a fulfillment center, the right mode (sea 25–35 days or air 5–10 days), and clearance with duties included in one fixed DDP price, finishing with FC appointment delivery.

Why This Matters

Since Amazon stopped prep services for US FBA in January 2026, sellers own every label and carton check. Missing prep means defect fees or FC rejections — the difference between a clean restock and a delayed one.

Expert Explanation

FBA vs your own warehouse

  • To Amazon FCs: FNSKU labeling, carton checks, GMA palletizing, shipment plans, appointment delivery
  • To your own US warehouse: standard DDP door-to-door delivery

Mode selection

| Mode | Transit | Best for | | --- | --- | --- | | Express | 3–7 days | Small parcels under 30 kg | | Air DDP | 5–10 days | Urgent restocks, high-value | | Sea DDP | 25–35 days | Bulk restocks, FBA replenishment |

Requirements

Product details, carton count, total weight and dimensions, supplier city, destination (FBA or warehouse), and specs for battery or oversized products (pre-check required).

Common Mistakes

  • Shipping to FCs without origin prep.
  • Booking sea for a restock that needed air.
  • Ignoring duties after the de minimis change.
  • Shipping battery products without a DG pre-check.

Frequently asked questions

Prepare to FBA standard (FNSKU labeling, carton checks, GMA pallets), ship by sea DDP (25–35 days) or air DDP (5–10 days), and book FC appointment delivery with duties included in DDP.

Applicable duties (Section 301 / IEEPA where relevant) apply since the de minimis exemption ended; XCJD includes them in fixed DDP quotes.

Sea DDP (25–35 days) for planned restocks; air DDP (5–10 days) for deadline-driven restocks; express (3–7 days) for small parcels.
