Heavy weight warning labels for Amazon packages over 15kg

Essential Amazon FBA Update: New Safety Label Rules for Heavy Packages Above 15kg

Amazon FBA in the US now mandates safety labels for all packages over 15kg (33lbs), aligning with UK and EU standards. This move aims to enhance safety in logistics.

What's New in Safety Labeling:

Amazon's latest directive demands that any package weighing more than 15kg must bear "Team Lift" or "Heavy Package" labels. These should be visible on the top and sides of each box, requiring five labels per package.

The Importance of Compliance:

Following these guidelines is crucial for maintaining safety and operational efficiency. Ignoring these rules could incur significant costs, particularly if labeling isn't done before the packages are shipped from the manufacturing country.

Strict Box Size Rules:

Remember, Amazon stringently enforces box dimension policies. Shipping boxes that exceed the allowed size can block your future shipments, so precision in packaging is key.
