How to quickly obtain Amazon Packaging Certification:

Sellers do not need to obtain additional testing or documentation from Amazon, they only need to directly contact APASS to recommend a laboratory, arrange payment, and then send the samples to the laboratory for testing. If you pass the test, the laboratory will provide you with an Amazon Standard Test Report that can be uploaded to Amazon for quick Amazon Packaging Certification.
