Summary
FBT policy now requires failed drop-test items to be repackaged using poly bags with suffocation warnings (lightweight) or over-boxing with double-wall corrugated boxes for items >10 lb before resubmission.
Why it matters
Sellers must implement new packaging remediation procedures when products fail mandatory drop tests. Non-compliance risks shipment rejection, inventory delays, additional fees, and potential fulfillment privilege loss under FBT enforcement.
Recommended action
Review current drop-test procedures and failed-item handling. Update packaging protocols to include poly-bag and over-boxing options for items >10 lb. Verify compliance documentation available for testing records and repackaging certifications.
Place the unit in a poly bag with a suffocation warning (for lightweight items)
Use over-boxing (especially for fragile, hazardous, or heavier items)Over-boxing means placing the product’s existing package inside an additional outer box. For items weighing more than 10 lb, a double-wall corrugated box is required.
