Requests an estimate of the shipping cost for an inbound shipment.
The EstimateTransportRequest operation initiates the process of estimating the shipping cost for an inbound shipment by an Amazon-partnered carrier. Prior to calling the EstimateTransportRequest operation, you must call the PutTransportContent operation to provide Amazon with the transportation information for your inbound shipment. For more information, see Using an Amazon-partnered carrier for your inbound shipment in the MWS for FBA Sellers guide.
This operation is available in all marketplaces except Brazil.
The EstimateTransportRequest operation has a maximum request quota of 30 and a restore rate of two requests every second. For definitions of throttling terminology and for a complete explanation of throttling, see Throttling: Limits to how often you can submit requests in the Amazon MWS Developer Guide.
