Returns inbound guidance for a list of items by Seller SKU.
The GetInboundGuidanceForSKU operation lets a seller know if Amazon recommends sending an item to a given marketplace. In some cases, Amazon provides guidance for why a given Seller SKU is not recommended for shipment to Amazon's fulfillment network.
Sellers may still ship items that are not recommended, at their discretion.
This operation is available in all marketplaces except Brazil.
