Amazon Warehouse Locations in New Jersey
New Jersey is one of the most densely packed Amazon fulfillment regions in the United States. With over a dozen active facilities ranging from the massive EWR4 robotics center to specialized sortation hubs like TEB3, NJ warehouses serve the entire New York metropolitan area and the broader Northeast. For FBA sellers importing from China, understanding which New Jersey facility your inventory routes to and how to ship there efficiently directly impacts your landed costs.
Why New Jersey for Amazon FBA Inventory
New Jersey sits directly across the Hudson River from New York City, giving it access to the largest consumer market in the US. Amazon has invested heavily in the state because of three factors: proximity to Port Newark-Elizabeth (the second-busiest container port in the country), a dense population within a 50-mile radius, and competitive logistics labor costs compared to New York. For FBA sellers, routing inventory to New Jersey warehouses means faster delivery to Northeast customers and lower inbound shipping costs compared to routing through West Coast ports and cross-country trucking.
The Port of Newark handles roughly 4 million TEUs annually. Containers arriving from China via the Suez Canal or Panama Canal reach Newark in 28-35 days. From the port, drayage to Amazon facilities across New Jersey takes 1-2 days. This is significantly faster than shipping through Los Angeles and trucking across the country, which adds 5-7 days and $1,500-2,500 in cross-country freight costs for a full container.

Shipping to New Jersey FBA Warehouses from China
Ocean Freight via Port Newark
The standard route for China-to-New Jersey FBA shipments runs through Port Newark-Elizabeth. Containers from Shanghai or Ningbo transit the Panama Canal or Suez Canal and arrive at Newark in 28-35 days. After discharge, customs clearance at Newark takes 2-3 days. Drayage from the port to Amazon facilities adds 1-2 days depending on facility location. Total door-to-door time under DDP is 30-38 days.
Air Freight to EWR or JFK
For urgent restocks, air freight to Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR) or JFK delivers in 7-10 days door-to-door. Air cargo clears customs at the airport's CBP facility. Trucking to NJ FBA warehouses takes under 24 hours from either airport. Air freight works for high-value, lightweight products but costs $4-8/kg compared to $1.50-2.50/kg for ocean.
Cost Considerations for New Jersey FBA Shipments
Shipping to the East Coast costs more than West Coast routing but eliminates cross-country trucking. A 40-foot container from Shanghai to Newark runs approximately $3,500-4,500 in ocean freight during normal seasons. The same container to Los Angeles costs $2,000-3,000 for ocean freight but then adds $2,000-3,000 for rail or truck to the East Coast. For FBA sellers with concentrated Northeast demand, routing directly to Newark is often cheaper on a total landed cost basis.
Additional costs to budget for New Jersey FBA shipments:
- Port Newark terminal handling: $300-500 per container
- Chassis usage and chassis split fees: $50-150 (Newark chassis splits are common during peak season)
- Customs bond and brokerage: $50-100 single entry, or annual bond $500-600
- Drayage to NJ facilities within 50 miles: $200-400
- Amazon FBA inbound placement fees vary by facility. EWR4 and EWR7 are in Amazon's standard placement tier for the Northeast region
