Package Dimension
The Package Dimension operation (PACKAGE_DIMENSION) returns the package dimensions and weight Amazon uses for fulfillment, the dimensions and weight of the item itself, and basic product data. You send one asin and a marketplace domain.
When to use
- Audit FBA fees: compare
package.dimensions,package.weightandproduct.fee_categorywith the fees Amazon charges you. - Plan inbound freight: calculate how many units fit on a pallet or in a container from the package size and weight.
- Find oversized packaging: compare
product.dimensionswithpackage.dimensionsto spot packages with a lot of empty space. - Quote shipping costs: send the package weight and size to a carrier rate API for merchant-fulfilled orders.
- Check a whole catalog: send many ASINs in one job with the Bulk API (
asinspayload).
What the response includes
- Package data: height, length, width, weight and their units (
