If you are a seller who makes TV mounts in China and wants to sell them on Amazon, shipping to Amazon’s warehouses can seem hard at first. But don’t worry. This guide will help you step by step. TV mounts are metal brackets that hold TVs on walls. Many sellers ship them from China because it is cheap to make there. Amazon uses FBA (Fulfillment by Amazon), which means Amazon stores and sends your products to buyers. You can ship directly from China to save time and money. I will explain the process in simple words.
Step 1: Prepare Your Products
First, make sure your TV mounts are ready. Check the quality. They should be strong and safe. Get all the items from your factory in China. Decide how many you want to ship. For example, if you have 100 TV mounts, group them into boxes.
You also need to know the details like size, weight, and material. Most TV mounts are made of steel. This helps later for shipping and customs.
Step 2: Set Up Your Amazon Seller Account
To ship to Amazon, you need an Amazon seller account. Go to sellercentral.amazon.com and sign up. Choose FBA so Amazon handles storage and delivery.
Create your product listings. Add photos, descriptions, and prices for your TV mounts. Amazon gives each product an ASIN (Amazon Standard Identification Number).
Step 3: Create a Shipping Plan
In your seller account, go to “Manage Inventory” and select “Send to Amazon.” Make a new shipping plan. Tell Amazon what products you are sending, how many, and from where (China).
Amazon will tell you which warehouse to ship to. It could be in the US, Canada, or Europe. Print the labels Amazon gives you. These are FNSKU labels (like barcodes) for each item.
Step 4: Package and Label Your Items
Pack your TV mounts well to avoid damage. Use strong boxes. Put padding inside so they don’t break during the trip. Each box should have a shipping label from Amazon.
Follow Amazon’s rules: Boxes can’t be too big or heavy. For TV mounts, make sure they are secure. Label the outside of boxes with “Fragile” if needed.
Step 5: Choose a Shipping Method
You have options to ship from China:
- Θαλάσσια μεταφορά: Good for large amounts. It is cheap but slow (about 3-5 weeks to the US).
- Αεροπορικές μεταφορές: Faster (1-2 weeks) but more expensive. Use for small or urgent shipments.
- Express Courier: Like DHL or FedEx, very fast but costly.
Many sellers use a freight forwarder. They handle the transport. Amazon has its own service called Amazon Global Logistics for easy booking.
For best results, ship in bulk by sea if you have many TV mounts.
Step 6: Handle Customs and Duties
Shipping from China means crossing borders. You need documents like:
- Commercial invoice (shows value and details).
- Packing list.
- Bill of lading (for sea shipping).
The HS code for TV wall mounts is 8302.50.0000. This code helps customs know what it is.
For the US, the base duty is free, but products from China may have extra 25% duty due to trade rules. Check current rates as they can change. In Canada or Europe, duties may differ.
Use DDP (Delivered Duty Paid) service. This means the shipper pays all fees, so you don’t worry about extra costs at arrival.
Step 7: Track Your Shipment
After shipping, get a tracking number. Watch it online. When it arrives at Amazon’s warehouse, they check it. If everything is good, your products go live for sale.
If there are problems, like wrong labels, Amazon may reject it. So double-check everything.
