# How do I send shipments from SKUdrop using AGL

## Steps to Create an AGL Shipment in Amazon Seller Central

To create an **AGL shipment** (Amazon Global Logistics) in your Amazon Seller Central account, follow these step-by-step instructions. Please note that some options may vary.

🧭 **Important Note**:

SKUdrop **does not allow Amazon Global Logistics (AGL)** to pick up directly from their warehouse. Instead, SKUdrop will **deliver your goods to Amazon’s AGL Ningbo location** for a flat-rate delivery fee based on CBM.

**Very Important Note:** You will be required to create an Own Freight Forwarder (OFF) shipment in your SKUdrop account to arrange the shipment delivery to AGL, AGL will require you to be the IOR.

### 📦 Your Role in AGL Shipments

You play an essential role in ensuring your AGL shipment proceeds smoothly.

To allow SKUdrop to deliver your goods to the AGL port location, we require **specific paperwork from your supplier**. This documentation is necessary for us to coordinate the **port drop-off** on your behalf.

In some cases, you may need to **follow up directly with your supplier** to obtain the required paperwork so we can proceed with the shipment.

Once we receive the correct documents, SKUdrop will organize delivery to the AGL Ningbo location as part of our service.

Thank you for your cooperation and support in keeping the process moving efficiently.

### 📦 Important Notes:

* AGL is only available for shipping **from China to the US**.
* You **must provide accurate commercial invoice and HS codes**.
* Amazon will handle the freight forwarding, customs clearance, and import duties (which will be billed to you), you will be the IOR.
