What France sends to amazon.com is rarely generic: glass jars, coffrets, candles, design objects, products with dates on them. That inventory can't be thrown at Amazon's network unprotected. Ship from Le Havre or CDG to our Miami warehouse and we inspect it on arrival, wrap and box the fragile, label the dated, bundle the sets — then forward into FBA within 24–48 hours.
The catalog France exports to Amazon's US marketplace leans premium: skincare in glass, candles, gourmet-adjacent pantry goods, tableware, design objects, accessories. These categories reward brands richly on amazon.com — American buyers pay for French provenance — but they punish sloppy logistics. A chipped jar isn't a defect rate; it's a one-star review with photos.
Since January 2026, Amazon's US network preps nothing and labels nothing. Whatever protection, dating or bundling your product needs must exist before it reaches an Amazon dock — and damaged unprepped stock isn't reimbursed. For fragile French goods, that changed a nice-to-have into a structural requirement.
Our answer is a short, careful pipeline. Your forwarder ships DDP from Le Havre or CDG; arrival day, we open the consignment, count it and photograph its condition. Prep follows by category: bubble and boxing for glass, date labels for anything with a shelf life, assembly for sets, scan-verified FNSKUs on everything.
Stock then enters FBA in measured quantities, with the balance racked here as your US reserve — replenished as amazon.com sells, so one crossing from France funds a whole season of availability.
| French category | What it needs before FBA |
|---|---|
| Skincare & balms in glass | Bubble wrap or boxing, fragile handling, scan-verified FNSKU |
| Gourmet-adjacent goods | Expiration-date labels in Amazon's US format, batch tracking |
| Coffrets & gift sets | Set assembly, sold-as-set marking, one FNSKU per bundle |
| Candles & ceramics | Protective packing built for Amazon's conveyors |
| Perfumes & aerosols | Not accepted — no hazmat; ask during onboarding |
Every step happens in one Miami building, ten minutes from where your CDG freight lands.
Le Havre pallets and CDG air cargo counted in and photographed on arrival — transit damage documented while a claim is still possible.
Bubble wrapping, over-boxing and cushioning for glass, ceramics and candles — protection engineered for Amazon's handling, not the showroom's.
Best-before products labeled in the format Amazon's US network enforces, without covering the packaging your designer fought for.
Components arrive loose; complete sets leave — assembled, secured, marked and carrying a single FNSKU per bundle.
Every unit's US barcode applied and scan-verified, with conflicting EAN codes covered so Amazon reads exactly one.
Reserve stock racked on monthly space-based billing and released into FBA at your amazon.com sales pace.
Your forwarder books Le Havre sea or CDG air, ships DDP, and delivers cleared freight to our Medley dock.
Counts against your order, condition photographed — the J+0 report reaches you the day the goods land.
Category-specific prep: wrapping for glass, date labels for shelf-life goods, coffrets built and marked as sets.
An opening quantity enters FBA in 24–48 hours; the rest waits on our racks and follows as America buys.
Creams, balms and solid cosmetics in premium glass — protected here, with the hazmat question answered honestly before freight is booked.
Shelf-life products that need date labels Amazon accepts — applied unit by unit during prep, batch by batch as you produce.
Ceramics, candles and decorative pieces whose packaging was designed for a boutique, reinforced here for a conveyor.
Brands with proven French listings opening the American market — a first air consignment, then scale on real .com data.
Because nobody between France and the FC opened a box. Here, every consignment is condition-checked on arrival and fragile units are re-packed to survive what comes next.
A formatting problem, not a product problem. We label shelf-life goods in the exact format Amazon's US receivers expect, during the same pass as the FNSKU.
It should see one. We assemble the set, seal it, mark it sold-as-set and give it a single FNSKU — one listing, one scan, no confusion.
Grading with photos: sealed returns are re-prepped into FBA; opened ones are flagged honestly for disposal or holding, your call from Paris.
List your products on amazon.com, then ship stock to our Miami warehouse — sea freight out of Le Havre into PortMiami, or air cargo from Paris-CDG into MIA, booked DDP through your forwarder so customs is settled before delivery. We receive and inspect the consignment, apply protective prep and FNSKU labels, and forward it into FBA within 24–48 hours.
Yes — glass is a French specialty and a daily reality at our benches. Jars, bottles and candles get bubble wrapping, boxing where the original packaging isn't enough, and fragile handling through every touch. Amazon's conveyors are unsentimental; the protection has to be built in here, because since 2026 nobody at an Amazon FC will add it for you.
During the same prep pass as the FNSKU. Products with a DLUO/best-before concept — teas, confectionery-adjacent goods, oils — receive expiration-date labels in the exact format Amazon's US network requires, placed so they're readable without obscuring your branding. You tell us the batch dates; we make each unit compliant before it ships inbound.
Yes. Coffrets are bundling work: we assemble the components into one sellable unit, secure it, apply a single FNSKU and the sold-as-set marking, and Amazon treats it as one product from then on. Many French brands ship components loose from the atelier and have the sets built here — it keeps production simple and lets you adjust set composition for the US market.
We're straightforward about this: we do not handle hazmat or dangerous goods, and alcohol-based perfumes and aerosols usually fall in that class. Creams, balms, solid soaps and most non-flammable cosmetics are fine. Send us your product list during onboarding and we'll tell you item by item what we can receive — before you book freight, not after.
For a first consignment, air from CDG: beauty and design goods are dense in value, a few hundred kilos tests the market properly, and the cargo lands ten minutes from our dock. Sea from Le Havre earns its place once volumes justify a pallet-count that makes ocean rates attractive. Both arrive to the same receiving and inspection routine.
In English, by email and WhatsApp, across a six-hour offset that works in your favor: your late afternoon overlaps our morning, so same-day answers are the norm. Photo reports do most of the talking — arrival condition, prep results, returns grading — so you can see your stock's state from Paris instead of taking anyone's word for it.
Invoices are in USD, itemized per unit for receiving, prep and monthly storage, and payable by card or international transfer from your French account. There's no setup fee and no monthly minimum, and the rate sheet arrives within one business day of your request — so the euro cost of your US experiment is knowable before the first carton leaves France.
Removal orders come to our Medley address, where each unit is inspected and graded with photos. For beauty products the honest news is that opened units usually can't be resold as new — we flag them for disposal or holding per your instruction. Sealed and undamaged returns are re-prepped, relabeled and sent back into FBA, which over a year recovers real money.
Yes — one consignment from France becomes one US inventory pool. FBA takes its share; Shopify, eBay, Etsy and Walmart orders ship as individual parcels from the same racks. French DTC brands often start Amazon-only and add their own site's US fulfillment a season later without shipping anything extra across the Atlantic.
Describe your products — fragile, dated, sets, or all three — and how they'd travel from France. Within one business day you'll have per-unit pricing, a prep recommendation per category, and receiving instructions for your forwarder.
