What does this mean for cross-border sellers?
Fulfillment costs on Amazon’s U.S. marketplace will rise slightly, further narrowing the profit buffer for low-priced and low-margin products. A common mistake is to look only at the per-unit increase and overlook the cumulative cost across large-volume orders. Highest-priority action: Recalculate actual profit by SKU this week after FBA fees, commissions, and advertising costs, then adjust pricing and replenishment accordingly.
