If you source from China and sell in the US or EU like most sellers, you know how time-consuming and complicated shipping to the dedicated FBA warehouses can get. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Between coordinating multiple providers, dealing with customs paperwork, and securing competitive rates, you are often faced with delays and extra costs. Amazon Global Logistics (AGL)<\/a> handles all these challenges for you, so you can focus on the business elements that matter more to you than logistics. But it\u2019s not for everyone. In this article, we\u2019ll be looking closer at what AGL is and who benefits the most from it \u2013 and who doesn\u2019t. <\/p>\n\n\n\t\t

What Is Amazon Global Logistics?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

AGL is Amazon\u2019s door-to-door freight management solution. It handles your inventory shipping from manufacturing hubs \u2013 commonly China \u2013 straight to your Amazon Fulfillment Centers or Warehousing & Distribution facilities. Shipments go to anywhere in the U.S., U.K., and E.U., all within one unified Seller Central interface. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

Important: Amazon Global Logistics only handles the shipping from the manufacturing hub to the Fulfillment Center or AWD facilities. Anything beyond that must be handled by 3PL providers or by Amazon Supply Chain Management.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

How Does AGL Work? <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Step 1: Freight Pickup & Ocean Transport<\/strong>
<\/strong>Amazon arranges the pickup from your supplier and offers ocean freight or air freight options \u2013 standard (cost-effective) or fast (balanced speed and cost).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 2: Customs Clearance<\/strong>
<\/strong>AGL takes care of necessary import documentation and collaborates with customs brokers to get your goods cleared \u2013 no hassle for you involved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 3: Delivery to FBA or AWD<\/strong>
<\/strong>Once cleared, your shipments are delivered to Amazon FBA centers or bulk storage in AWD, ready for later distribution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 4: One Central Platform<\/strong>
<\/strong>Everything \u2013 from rate comparison and booking to tracking and updates \u2013 is managed directly in Seller Central for convenient execution and monitoring. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do You Need Amazon AGL for Your Business? <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The benefits are quite apparent, especially if \u2013 until now \u2013 you\u2019ve been using multiple 3PL providers that have been draining your time and funds. So, let\u2019s take a look at how AGL helps your business:
<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
    \n
  1. Time Savings & Reduced Complexity<\/strong>
    AGL gives you a single point of coordination. You no longer need to juggle multiple carriers, send out repetitive emails, or handle paperwork and customs. Amazon Global Logistics ships your products directly from your manufacturing hub to FBA warehouses or AWD centers, taking care of every step in between.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Competitive Freight Rates<\/strong>
    Another advantage of using logistics by Amazon are the pricing advantages that come with logistics services of Amazon\u2019s volume. These negotiated rates often beat what individual sellers could secure on their own, helping you reduce costs and improve margins.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Reliable & Transparent Tracking<\/strong>
    AGL enables tracking of your shipments from within Seller Central.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. Cost-efficient Inventory Flow<\/strong>
    The smooth integration into FBA\/AWD helps reduce storage and restocking delays, which in turn keeps your seller rating and product visibility up. <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

    Amazon Global Logistics vs Broader Supply Chain Management<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    AGL is a freight solution for Amazon sellers, shipping from the manufacturer to your Amazon warehouse of choice. Nothing more. The aim is a smooth, hands-off process that reduces the need for third-party freight forwarders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Broader supply chain management covers much more than this. Supply chain management includes sourcing, production planning, inventory management, warehousing, fulfillment across multiple sales channels, and even last-mile delivery. If you have a business that sells beyond Amazon this level of logistics can help you remain flexible and serve multiple markets more easily.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \u201cScope\u201d is the important keyword here. AGL shipping is narrow but custom-tailored for Amazon-focused sellers, while broader supply chain management offers solutions across multiple platforms and customer touchpoints.<\/p>\n\n\n

    \n

    Which Sellers Don\u2019t Need Either Solution<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    There are many different business types<\/a> you can specialize in as an Amazon seller. Let\u2019s take a look at which type of sellers don\u2019t need these solutions. <\/p>\n\n\n

    \n
      \n
    1. Retail Arbitrage (RA)<\/a> \u2013 You buy discounted products locally (e.g., Walmart, Target, or local shops) and resell them on Amazon for a profit.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    2. Online Arbitrage (OA) \u2013 Same as RA, with the difference that you buy them online from domestic retailers. Your products ship locally, no ocean freight necessary.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    3. Merch by Amazon \/ Amazon KDP \/ Print-on-Demand \u2013 Amazon handles production and shipping in these cases.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    4. Private Label<\/a> or Wholesale with domestic suppliers \u2013 If your supplier\/manufacturer is already based in your country (e.g., US sellers sourcing from US manufacturers), there\u2019s no need for Global Logistics from Amazon.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    5. Dropshipping \u2013 The supplier handles shipping directly, so AGL isn\u2019t part of the process.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

      In a nutshell, if your Amazon business sources inventory domestically or doesn\u2019t deal with bulk international shipments, you won\u2019t need Amazon Global Logistics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      How to Apply & Get Started with AGL<\/h2>\n\n\n
      \n
        \n
      1. Set up your AGL profile<\/strong> in Seller Central.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      2. Provide importer-of-record (IOR) details<\/strong>, complete payment setup, and upload required documentation.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      3. Book ocean freight<\/strong> via your Seller Central dashboard, comparing standard vs. fast options and tracking shipments in real time.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      4. Follow-up process<\/strong> \u2013 if applications lag, Seller Central\u2019s Help & Resources or Seller Support will assist you.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

        Wrapping Up<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

        If you\u2019re expanding your Amazon business, sourcing more products from China, or simply dissatisfied with your current logistics setup, Amazon Global Logistics offers a strong alternative to juggling multiple 3PL providers. Not only does tracking become easier when everything is managed through one solution, but it can also be more cost-efficient to rely on a single large provider instead of several smaller ones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
