Amazon BFI4 — address and China-to-US shipping guide
Seattle / Kent area, Washington · West Coast · best served through Seattle / Tacoma
BFI4 is the Pacific Northwest destination most often seen on China-origin plans. Sailings from North China ports to Seattle/Tacoma are frequently the shortest ocean leg available, which can offset the smaller sailing frequency compared with LA/LB.

Amazon opens, relocates and retires facilities regularly. Treat this page as a planning reference and use the destination on your live shipment plan in Seller Central as the authoritative routing instruction.
Routing freight from China to BFI4
Local drayage from the Northwest Seaport Alliance terminals.
On a China-to-BFI4 move we handle factory or warehouse pickup in China, export declaration, the ocean or air leg into Seattle / Tacoma, U.S. customs clearance, and the booked delivery appointment at BFI4. Because Amazon rarely sends an entire plan to a single FC, the number that matters is the total for the whole plan, not the cost of one destination in isolation.
Upload your FBA labels to our China to FBA quote and booking tool and we read every FC on the plan — including BFI4 — and return one all-in shipment total. You can also compare modes first on the China to US FBA shipping quote page.
Delivery and appointments at BFI4
West Coast fulfillment centers are close to the main Pacific gateways, so after customs release containers are usually devanned near the port and cartons move by short-haul truck. Because the inland leg is short, the delivery appointment at the FC is often the main variable in the final date, especially in peak season when appointment slots fill quickly.
Typical door-delivery windows to BFI4 are 20–27 days port-to-door by sea and 6–9 days airport-to-door by air. Customs inspection, sailing changes and appointment availability can move these dates, so treat them as planning ranges.
Avoiding refused deliveries at BFI4
Most delays at Amazon fulfillment centers come from carton preparation rather than transport. We check dimensions, weights and labels at our China warehouse before loading, but the cartons should leave the factory already compliant with Amazon's inbound requirements:
- Single cartons over 50 lb (22.7 kg) without team-lift marking
- Any carton side over 25 inches for standard-size items
- Missing, damaged or covered FBA box labels — apply labels on two sides
- Carton count or contents that do not match the shipment plan
- Pallets taller than 72 inches or not on 40 × 48 inch pallets
- Missed or rescheduled delivery appointments, which can push delivery back several days
