Container is an important loading container in the transportation of goods and it is also necessary to use containers for shipping when using Amazon FBA first sea transportation. However, the weight that containers can carry is limited, so attention should be paid not only to the weight limit of containers themselves, but also to the weight limit of other aspects. Therefore, in addition to the initial cost of Amazon FBA, the carrier should also pay attention to the weight limitation of the container.

1. Container weight limit

During the initial transportation of Amazon FBA, attention should be paid to verifying the weight limit of the assembly county to avoid the total weight of the goods exceeding the weight limit. Because when the container exceeds the weight limit, it will exceed the maximum strength that the container can bear, so it may lead to the damage of the container shape, the bottom plate falling off and the top beam bending and the container loading beyond the weight limit will be rejected by the dock.

2.The shipping company limited the weight

The weight policy varies from shipping company to shipping company. In general, the weight limit is not based on damaged containers and the balance between space and weight is considered. Therefore, carriers need to know the shipping company's weight policy in advance before using Amazon FBA's first shipping service, so that containers are not loaded in excess of the shipping company's weight.

3.Port weight

The limit of weight in port area mainly depends on the mechanical load of wharf and yard. After container ships arrive at the wharf, cranes at the wharf are generally required to carry out loading and unloading operations. If the weight of containers exceeds the mechanical load, it will cause difficulties for the operation of the wharf and yard. Therefore, it is necessary to know the weight limit of the port in advance when amazon FBA first transhipment.

The above are several weight limiting factors that need to be considered when loading goods in containers during the initial transportation of Amazon FBA. If people do not understand the weight limit in all aspects, once the container is overweight, it will cause obstacles to the transportation of goods. Therefore, the new amazon FBA Head process company suggests that carriers should understand the weight limit policy in all aspects in advance to ensure that the total weight of the container is not overweight.
