Cross-border goods routed through Amazon Global Logistics (AGL) Preferred Routing have access to one managed flow from origin to fulfillment center, with no third-party handoffs and delays. Sellers using AGL Preferred Routing have seen on average 13.6% higher sales revenue from getting inventory in stock sooner.
AGL’s Preferred Routing is part of AGL’s services and built into every shipment, automatically directing your cross-border goods to fulfillment centers near destination ports. AGL selects smarter nodes, so your goods enter our network sooner, with no changes to how you create shipments in Seller Central.
By using AGL Preferred Routing, you can:
- Save up to 45% on shipping costs. Consolidated routing maximizes container utilization and cuts last-mile trucking distances, delivering lower per-unit costs.
- Get Prime-eligible sooner. Your goods clear customs, complete drayage, and reach the fulfillment center faster, accelerating your path to revenue.
- Benefit from automatic rerouting. AGL monitors real-time conditions throughout transit and automatically reroutes if congestion or delays arise — no action needed from you.
- Ship through preferred routes. Inventory is routed through the Port of Los Angeles for West Coast, Central, and Southern markets, with rail connecting East Coast fulfillment centers — cutting time and cost versus traditional trucking.
Unlike third-party forwarders that rely on multiple provider handoffs, separate bookings at each leg, and manual intervention when delays occur, AGL moves your shipment from origin to a nearby Amazon fulfillment center in a single, managed flow.

- Visit the AGL program portal to set up your profile if you haven’t already.
