FNSKU labels for Amazon EU FBA

Every unit you ship to an Amazon EU fulfillment center needs an FNSKU label, exactly the same as in the US. The FNSKU is per-SKU (not per-marketplace), so once you assign one in Seller Central it works for every European warehouse your inventory routes through.

FNSKU example

EU FBA quirks: Pan-European inventory routing means a single shipment can land in DE, FR, ES, IT warehouses; multi-country VAT obligations stack with that; and EU prep centers (Hamburg, Czechia, Poland) have their own batch processing windows.

Step by step

  1. 1

    Get the FNSKU from Seller Central EU

    sellercentral-europe.amazon.com > Manage Inventory > FNSKU column. Starts with X00.

  2. 2

    Generate the barcode

    Paste the FNSKU into our generator. Same Code 128 format as US FBA.

  3. 3

    Print at 1×2 inch (25×51mm)

    EU thermal printers commonly use 40×30mm or 50×30mm rolls — both work as long as the barcode plus FNSKU text fit and the contrast is high.

  4. 4

    Apply over manufacturer barcodes

    Cover any existing UPC/EAN on the unit so scanners don't pick the wrong code.

  5. 5

    Ship to Amazon FC

    Print the FBA inbound label from Seller Central; carrier delivers to assigned EU warehouse.
