    • None – Seller will download a box contents file and upload the file to Seller Central. Box content information will not be provided to Amazon for this shipment. Seller will incur extra fees from Amazon.
    Label Prep Preference Select the party – either Amazon or the seller – who will be responsible for labeling the items. This is only relevant for items that need labels.

    Change the setting for this shipment only:

    • Amazon_Label_Only – Amazon will label all eligible products when received at their fulfillment center. Ineligible products will be rejected from the shipment. This service has associated fees.
    • Amazon_Label_Preferred – Amazon will label any products not labeled by the seller. Fees are applied as needed.
    • Seller_Label (default setting) – Merchant will label the products if required. The merchant may incur fees for unlabeled/improperly labeled items if Amazon requires labeling.
    Note: The choice you make here may not correlate with the value on the Amazon Shipments tab’s Label Type field. For example, you may choose Seller_Label here, but Amazon may populate the Label Type field with the No_Label value when they preview the shipment. This would happen if they determine that no labels are needed.
