What is a SIOC certification?

A Ship In Own Container (SIOC) certification is an Amazon certification that allows e-commerce entities using the platform to ship a product in its original packaging. This SIOC certification is why you sometimes may receive a package from Amazon that has no outer packaging, such as a brown outer box. Rather, it is just shipped in its original packaging.

To earn SIOC certification, an e-commerce entity must get the product and its packaging testing to ensure it is compliant with the criteria. To do so, the package must meet certain criteria such as weight, dimension, and compression testing. Certification often saves money for the business and is more environmentally friendly, so it can be a great idea.
