The Partnered Carrier program allows you to send your Fulfillment by Amazon (FBA) inventory from India to fulfillment centers in the US. The program enables you to commercially ship your FBA shipments in a cost-effective manner. Once the partnered carrier picks up your shipment, they will handle shipping from customs clearances to delivery to an Amazon fulfillment center. Doorstep pickup and drop-off at a carrier facility in India is available.

Below is a detailed list of program features:

• Integration into Seller CentralYou can book shipments, enter customs information, schedule pickup by the carrier, and pay logistics freight charges directly in Seller Central while creating your FBA shipment.
