What it means

SSCC (Serial Shipping Container Code) is an 18-digit barcode for individual shipping pallets and boxes. Every shipping unit sent to Amazon FBA should carry a unique SSCC for tracking and reconciliation. SSCC is a logistics standard that enables precise mapping of shipments to orders. Sellers should generate correct SSCCs for all FBA shipments.
