Summary
Added four mandatory drop-test triggers: perforated sides/openings, bubble wrap only, fragile items, and questionable packaging integrity. Sellers must certify pass/fail in all five orientations or face repackaging, delay, or rejection.
Why it matters
Sellers shipping fragile or weakly-packaged goods to FBT now face mandatory drop testing with strict pass-certification requirements. Failure blocks listing, delays shipment, or triggers repackaging costs and compliance enforcement.
Recommended action
Audit FBT inventory for items matching four new triggers. Conduct drop tests per spec (3-foot drops, five orientations). Prepare certification documentation before next inbound shipment to avoid rejection or removal.
Has questionable packaging integrity, such as weak materials, poor sealing, inadequate internal protection, or visible wear/damage
