Charge for “Carton Information Compliance” (No Carton Content Label)

The charge for “Carton Information Compliance”, also known as “No Carton Content Label”, came into effect on 4 March 2019.

In 2018, suppliers in the Vendor programme were only receiving information about Non Compliance without any penalties being applied. As of March 2019, the situation has changed – non-compliance means additional costs.

Carton Information Compliance pertains to the requirements for each carton shipped to Amazon FC. If a carton does not have the appropriate label containing information about its contents, a fee of 0.05 EUR per item contained in that carton will be charged.

The fee may be applied to each carton in a given ASN.

To avoid charges:

  • The carton must have a valid label with the correct 20-digit code (GS1 SSCC or AMZNCC) in text form and barcode format.

  • The label should include the ASN/BOL number in text form, and preferably also in barcode format, or a list of PO numbers that the carton pertains to.

  • The ASN notification must include the same data as that on the carton in addition to the standard information (GS1 SSCC or AMZNCC).
