What happened?
Amazon’s 2026 U.S. FBA fee information shows that annual FBA fees will increase by about $0.08 per unit on average, with the overall increase below 0.5%. However, the impact will vary by product. Standard-size products priced below $10 will qualify for Low-Price FBA rates, with average fees $0.86 lower than standard FBA rates. Products priced between $10 and $50 will see an average increase of about $0.08, while products priced above $50 will see an average increase of about $0.31. Amazon will also continue to apply the low-inventory-level fee. When inventory for standard-size or bulky products falls below approximately 28 days of supply relative to demand, additional fees may be charged on related fulfillment orders. The change affects operating costs for sellers with broad assortments, low-priced products, and seasonal inventory. The specific impact must be assessed based on each product’s selling price, size, and inventory days.
What does this mean for cross-border sellers?
U.S. FBA fees in 2026 should not be assessed solely by category averages. Cost changes for individual SKUs may vary significantly by selling price, size, and inventory days. Standard-size products priced below $10 can qualify for Low-Price FBA rates, but the low-inventory-level fee may still apply when inventory falls below approximately 28 days of supply relative to demand.
