How to enrol

• Make sure that package dimensions and weights have been entered in Seller Central before enrolment.
• Remove extra spaces before and after your MSKUs to prevent upload errors.
• Make sure that you have entered MSKUs, not ASINs, into the enrolment file.
• Always review your Processing reports for errors (for Professional selling plans only).

FBA Small and Light has its own prep-and-packing requirements and uses specific fulfilment centers. See  Prep and packaging guide and ship your products to the fulfilment center specified by Amazon. A minimum of 24 units per ASIN must be sent in each shipment.
