Made in Italy, Stocked in Amazon USA

Italian design, leather goods and home products already win on amazon.it — the American marketplace is many times larger, and it buys "Made in Italy" at a premium. ProShip3PL gives your brand its US operations point: freight from Genoa, La Spezia or Malpensa arrives at our Miami warehouse, gets inspected and photographed, prepped and FNSKU-labeled, and moves into FBA within 24–48 hours while you run the company from Italy.

Why Italian brands route their US inventory through Miami

Quick answer: Amazon.com requires US-marketplace FNSKU labels, US-compliant prep and inbound shipments to American fulfillment centers — none of which you can do from a warehouse in Lombardy or Veneto. An Italian seller who ships to our Medley, FL dock gets receiving, inspection, prep and FBA forwarding handled locally, and keeps steering the business from Italy over email and Seller Central.

The gap between amazon.it and amazon.com is not the seller account — extending into North America takes an afternoon. The gap is physical. Inventory for the US marketplace has to exist in the US, labeled for the US catalog, packed to survive Amazon's American network, and topped up faster than a transatlantic crossing allows.

Italian exporters have shipped to the US East Coast for generations, and the lanes are mature: container services out of Genoa, La Spezia and Naples call at PortMiami, while Malpensa and Fiumicino air cargo reaches MIA in hours. Your forwarder books the crossing DDP; we take over at the dock — counting cartons against your order, photographing anything the voyage damaged, and reporting to you the same day.

From there the pattern is buffer and drip: part of the shipment is prepped and pushed into FBA immediately, the rest waits on our racks and follows as sales pull it. One crossing per production run, many small FBA inbounds — that is how an Italian brand keeps amazon.com stocked without drowning in Amazon storage fees or emergency air freight.

What we do for Italian brands

From the container to the American customer

Every step your products need between an Italian factory and an Amazon US fulfillment center.

Arrivo

Receiving from Italy

Cartons, pallets, LCL and 20–53 ft containers accepted from your forwarder, unloaded and counted against your order on arrival day.

Controllo

Post-voyage inspection

Transatlantic crossings shake cargo. We check condition and photograph damage before Amazon ever sees a unit — evidence for carrier claims while they are still open.

Protezione

Prep for delicate goods

Bubble wrap for ceramics and glass, poly bags with suffocation warnings for textiles and leather, shrink wrap where it fits — a fixed spec per SKU.

Etichette

US FNSKU labeling

Every unit labeled for the amazon.com catalog and scan-verified, placed so it never hides the branding your products are bought for.

Scorte

Miami reserve stock

The balance of each crossing stored by bin or pallet, billed monthly for the space used, feeding FBA in sales-sized portions.

Resi

Returns & removals

Amazon removals come to our address instead of crossing the Atlantic: graded, re-prepped and returned to FBA, or held for your decision.

Why this corner of Florida

A US base that fits the Italian export lane

  • Direct transatlantic services. Mediterranean container lines call at PortMiami, so your freight drays under an hour instead of trucking across half a continent.
  • Air option for launches. A pallet out of Malpensa can be at our dock days after production — useful for testing amazon.com before committing a container.
  • Afternoon overlap with Italy. Six hours of difference means your 15:00–19:00 matches our working morning — questions get same-day answers.
  • Amazon MIA1 twelve minutes away. Replenishments enter Amazon's network fast, keeping your amazon.com listings in stock between crossings.

The route

Italy to amazon.com in four moves

STEP 01

Book the crossing

Your forwarder ships DDP from Genoa, La Spezia, Naples or by air from Malpensa — our Medley address and your reference on every carton.

STEP 02

Dock-side count & photos

Arrival-day verification against your order, with photographic evidence of any voyage damage sent to your inbox.

STEP 03

Protect & label

Each SKU prepped to its agreed spec and FNSKU-labeled for the US catalog, scan-verified unit by unit.

STEP 04

Stock amazon.com

An opening FBA shipment goes in within 24–48 hours; the rest racks in Miami and replenishes on your trigger.

Heard from Italian sellers

The four worries we hear from Italy — answered

01

"Our ceramics arrive broken when we ship FBA direct."

Unprotected fragile goods do not survive Amazon's conveyor network. Here every piece gets bubble or box protection to a spec we agree per SKU — and since 2026, Amazon no longer fixes prep for anyone.

02

"A container every time Amazon runs low is impossible."

Correct — so ship once and split. The crossing lands in Miami, FBA gets a slice, and the reserve follows in small inbounds. Your restock time drops from three weeks to two days.

03

"Nobody in the US can check what left our workshop."

We can. Every arrival is opened, counted and photographed against your documents, so a short shipment or scuffed batch is your forwarder's problem to answer for — not a mystery discovered by a customer review.

04

"Our brand presentation cannot be ruined by a barcode."

Label placement is part of your SKU spec. FNSKUs go where Amazon can scan them and buyers barely notice — never across a logo, embossing or printed artwork.

FAQ

Italian sellers — questions

I sell on amazon.it — how do I start selling on amazon.com from Italy?

Your Seller Central account can be extended to the US marketplace, but your listings, FNSKUs and inventory on amazon.com are separate from amazon.it. The operational piece is what most Italian sellers lack: a US location that receives freight, applies the US-marketplace FNSKU labels, and builds inbound shipments to American fulfillment centers. That is the role our Miami warehouse plays for you.

Which Italian ports and airports work best for shipping to Miami?

Sea freight from Genoa, La Spezia or Naples reaches PortMiami on well-established transatlantic services — plan roughly two to three weeks on the water depending on routing. For lighter or urgent stock, air cargo out of Malpensa or Fiumicino lands at MIA, ten minutes from our dock. Your forwarder picks the lane; we receive either one and report counts the day it arrives.

Can you prep Italian leather goods for Amazon FBA?

Yes. Bags, belts, wallets and small leather accessories typically need a poly bag with a suffocation warning, an FNSKU label placed where it scans without covering your branding, and careful handling so surfaces are not scuffed between the carton and the Amazon-ready unit. We prep them individually and scan-verify every label before the shipment leaves.

How do you handle fragile Italian home and design products?

Ceramics, glassware, espresso makers and decor get bubble wrap, boxing or shrink wrap as the product demands, because Amazon's network is rough on anything unprotected. During onboarding we agree on a prep spec per SKU, so every unit of a given product is protected the same way on every replenishment — not improvised carton by carton.

I sell food-adjacent products from Italy — can you apply expiration date labels?

Yes — expiration-date labeling in the format Amazon requires is a standard part of our prep, and it matters for the coffee, confectionery and pantry-style products Italian sellers bring to the US. Regulatory admissibility of a food product is handled by you and your customs broker before the freight reaches us; once it is cleared and at our dock, we label and prep it for FBA.

How does the time difference between Italy and Miami work in practice?

Italy runs six hours ahead of Miami. When our warehouse opens at 9:00 EST it is 15:00 in Milan, which leaves a comfortable overlap every working afternoon for questions and decisions. Receiving reports and photo documentation go out by email, so anything that lands during your evening is in your inbox when you start the next morning.

What should an Italian brand send as a first test shipment to the US?

Most Italian clients start with one or two pallets of their best amazon.it performers rather than a container. It is enough volume to validate demand on amazon.com, small enough to limit risk, and it exercises the whole chain — forwarder, customs, our receiving, prep, FBA check-in — before you commit a production run. There is no minimum on our side, so a small start costs only its per-unit rates.

Can you hold inventory in Miami and restock Amazon for me while I'm in Italy?

Yes — that is the normal rhythm. Your transatlantic shipment lands once; we rack the balance in bin or pallet storage billed monthly by the space used, and send replenishments into FBA within 24–48 hours of your trigger. You steer everything from Italy through Seller Central and email, without waiting three weeks for the next boat every time Amazon runs low.

What happens to Amazon returns and removal orders for an Italian seller?

Sending removals back to Italy rarely makes economic sense. Instead, Amazon ships them to our Medley address: we inspect each unit, tell you what is genuinely resellable, re-bag and relabel those units and send them back into FBA. The rest is stored or disposed of as you instruct — so returned inventory becomes a decision, not a write-off.

How do Italian sellers pay for prep services in Miami?

Invoices are itemized in USD and payable by international transfer or card from Italy. Pricing is per unit with no setup fee and no monthly minimum, and you receive the full rate sheet within one business day of your request — so you can model your amazon.com margins in euros before the first pallet leaves Italy.
