All pallets must be stretch-wrapped in clear plastic with a "do not break stretchwrap" or "do not break down" notification in Japanese ("フィルム切開禁止" or "開梱禁止" in Japanese) to alert the carrier.

Shipping Label Requirements
Requirements for shipping labels differ when you use a generic carton box or a
manufacture-specific shipping box. Before you schedule a delivery appointment, please see
what the requirements are according to the box type you use.
Note: Amazon recommends to use generic shipping box for your shipment. You can
use manufacture-specific shipping box only if the box is designed for the purpose of both
presentation and shipping.
Please check the following rules when putting multiple
ASINs/items on one pallet.
-
Divide ASINs/items so they can be identified as different ASINs/items.
-
Products with color variations or bundled items should be treated as separate
products (SKU)

Combine the items so that the weight is distributed evenly
