1 Definition

A carton content accuracy chargeback means that the products or the product quantities in a box Amazon received does not match exactly the information in the Advance Shipment Notification (ASN). [1]

2 What triggers it & how to prevent it Final composition for this type

Carton Content Accuracy — what is inside the box does not match what the ASN declared Amazon action Vendor action Vendor — ASN (EDI 856) Amazon — carton received Defect classes — Amazon (billing) ASN declares ASIN-A 10 units ASIN-B 0 units Carton 1 of 1 Vendor — submitted before arrival ≠ Carton received ASIN-A 6 units ✕ 4 units short ASIN-B 4 units ✕ not on the ASN Amazon — scanned at the fulfillment center Shortage / missing ASINs — fewer units in the box than the ASN states $1.67 per unit Unexpected item overage (UIO) — an item that is not on the ASN is in the container $1.67 per unit Unexpected quantity overage (UQO) — more units of an item than the ASN states $1.67 per unit Case pack defect — an item-level barcode is visible on a case pack or master pack $1.67 per unit, counted for every unit in the box A defect found in several boxes is multiplied by the number of boxes
✕ What triggers it
DefectMeaningCounting example
Shortage / missing ASINsAt least one unit of an item is expected in the box per the ASN, but fewer units than expected are present on arrival [1]Discrepancy = number of missing units [1]
Unexpected item overage (UIO)An item not on the ASN is present in the container [1]ASN says 10 of item A; box has 10 A + 4 of item B → discrepancy 4 [1]. If only the 4 unexpected units arrive and none of the 10 expected, 10 + 4 = 14 [1]
Unexpected quantity overage (UQO)More units of an item than the ASN states [1]ASN says 1 unit; box has 4 → discrepancy 3 [1]
Case pack defectInner/master pack labeling creates a mislabeling issue [1]ASN says 10 units; box has five 2-unit case packs → counted as 10 missing units, $1.67 × 10 = $16.70. When an item-level barcode visible on a case pack or master pack is not the expected sellable unit, all units in the box are counted [1]

If a defect occurs across multiple boxes, the number of defects is multiplied by the number of boxes to arrive at the final chargeback amount. [1]

✓ How to prevent it
  • Provide accurate ASN information for each shipment; ship no unexpected products [1]
  • Ensure barcodes on each unit map to the correct ASIN in the catalog [1]
  • If sending case packs (inner boxes): make sure case packs are not transparent, and the item-level barcode is visible only on the sellable items [1]
  • Do not place item barcode labels on top of the case pack — the inner-pack barcode gets scanned instead of the sellable units, causing a discrepancy between received and stowed units [1]
