Amazon Warehousing and Distribution (AWD) product eligibility
The Amazon Warehousing and Distribution program is available for a variety of Fulfillment by Amazon (FBA) products. When you book shipments for the program, we’ll validate that the ASINs that you’re attempting to send are eligible.
The table below shows the eligibility criteria for AWD. We’re working to make more product types eligible for the program.
| Eligible | Not eligible at this time | |
|---|---|---|
For more information, go to Overview of categories. |

| Conveyable boxes: Boxes that are smaller than 25 inches on any side and that weigh 50 lb or less. | Non-conveyable boxes: Boxes that are larger than 25 inches on any side and that weigh more than 50 lb. | |
| Conveyable Non sortable ASINs: Products that are 25 inches long x 25 inches wide x 25 inches high or smaller, and that weigh 49 lb or less. | Oversize or heavy and bulky ASINs: Products that are larger than 25 inches long x 25 inches wide x 25 inches high, and that weigh more than 49 lb. | |
| Perishables: Products with an expiration date. | Meltable: all heat-sensitive products, including but not limited to chocolate, gummies and selected jelly and wax-based products. | |
| Any product that is not considered a dangerous good. | Dangerous goods and any hazardous material prohibited by FBA. | |
Note: The Expiration Date of the product must be at least 185 days in the future from the Inbound shipment creation date in order to be eligible for AWD
In addition to product eligibility, we also validate that the products that you are sending meet the following FBA requirements:
- Restricted product categories: For certain categories, you're required to get pre-approval from Amazon before you list your products. Review FBA guidelines to ensure that you're eligible to sell products for these categories. For more information, go to Categories and products that require approval.
- Stranded inventory: FBA inventory in fulfillment centers that doesn't have an active offer and isn't available for sale on Amazon is considered stranded inventory. When inventory is stranded, you must either reactivate the listing or remove the inventory. Before you send inventory to Warehousing and Distribution, resolve stranded inventory issues. For more information, go to Stranded inventory overview.
- FBA barcodes: FBA uses barcodes to identify and track inventory throughout the fulfillment process. Therefore, each item that you send to a fulfillment center via Warehousing and Distribution requires a barcode. You can print Amazon barcodes and apply them to your products yourself, or you can have Amazon print and apply them for a per-item fee.
- Product listing issues: Product listings in the destination store must be valid before you send inventory to Warehousing and Distribution. For more information, go to Create listings one at a time.
- Missing catalog attributes: Product details must be provided accurately in the product catalog. For more information, go to Suggest changes to your product detail page.
- Seller account performance issues: If there are any performance issues with your seller account or the item that you're sending to Warehousing and Distribution, you won't be able to send inventory. All issues must be resolved before you can send the product to Amazon. For more information, go to Resolving inbound performance alerts.
Contact Selling Partner Support if your products are incorrectly labeled as dangerous goods (hazmat), or the dimensions of the products are incorrect where you are not able to add the ASINs to the AWD shipment.
