Overview

Amazon’s Removal Shipment Detail Report supplies FBA sellers with shipment‑level visibility for every removal order that actually leaves a fulfillment center. The file lists carrier names, tracking numbers, SKU data and quantities, helping sellers confirm that inventory slated for return or disposal is moving as expected. Access to this granular data is crucial for anyone who needs to reconcile inventory health, manage recalls, or resolve shipping disputes.

Key Points

• Shipment‑level tracking — Each line shows the carrier used and the tracking ID for the specific package, so sellers can follow every removal parcel in transit.
• Only shipped removals appear — Orders that were cancelled before leaving the warehouse are omitted from this report.
• Multiple carriers per order — A single removal request may be split into several shipments, each with its own carrier and tracking number; sellers must review all rows linked to the same order ID.
• Product‑level granularity — The report records SKU, FNSKU, disposition status and the exact quantity shipped for every line item, giving a full picture of what left the center and in what condition.
• Complementary reports required — Information on disposed inventory or cancelled removals is found in separate Amazon reports, not in the Removal Shipment Detail Report.

How the Removal Shipment Detail Report Works

1. Submit a removal request — A seller creates a removal order in Seller Central, choosing either “Return to address” or “Dispose.” For example, a seller may request 200 units of ASIN B07XYZ to be returned to their warehouse.
2. Amazon processes and ships — The fulfillment center packages the requested units. If the inventory is stored across two centers, the system may generate two shipments: one via UPS with tracking 1Z999AA10123456784 and another via FedEx with tracking 123456789012. Each shipment generates its own row in the report.
3. Report generation — After the shipments leave the center, Amazon compiles the Removal Shipment Detail Report. The file includes columns such as removal‑date (date the request was made), shipment‑date (date the package was dispatched), order‑id (unique removal order identifier), carrier, tracking‑number, SKU, FNSKU, disposition, and quantity‑shipped.
