What happened?
According to an Amazon India seller announcement, the Closing Fee for certain orders on the India store will change from September 7, 2026. Products priced at no more than 500 Indian rupees will incur an additional 1 rupee per unit, while products priced above 500 rupees will incur an additional 3 rupees per unit. The change applies to three fulfillment channels: Fulfilment Centre, Easy Ship, and Seller Flex. It therefore affects both sellers using Amazon storage and sellers holding their own inventory while shipping through the platform’s delivery network. For cross-border operators, although the absolute increase per unit is modest for low-average-order-value products, it may reduce margins for mobile accessories, daily-use goods, jewelry, and small home products. Sellers need to recalculate India-store prices including taxes, advertising costs, return losses, foreign-exchange risks, and platform fees, and should not focus only on the Referral Fee while overlooking the per-order Closing Fee.
What does this mean for cross-border sellers?
From September 7, 2026, Amazon India will adjust the Closing Fee for certain orders: products priced at no more than 500 Indian rupees will increase by 1 rupee per unit, and products above 500 rupees by 3 rupees per unit. The change covers Fulfilment Centre, Easy Ship, and Seller Flex, so pricing and margins for low-average-order-value products should be reassessed.
What should sellers do now?
- 1This week, export the India-store product lists priced at no more than 500 Indian rupees and above 500 rupees. For Fulfilment Centre, Easy Ship, and Seller Flex, add the applicable 1-rupee or 3-rupee per-unit cost separately.Profit calculator
- 2For mobile accessories, daily-use goods, jewelry, and small home products, re-enter tax-inclusive prices, advertising costs, return losses, foreign-exchange risks, and platform fees, and produce updated product-level profit tables.
- 3Review the Closing Fee impact for all relevant India-store listings rather than looking only at the Referral Fee. Mark margin changes by the two price tiers and three fulfillment channels, and create a list of products requiring price adjustments or optimization.Breakeven calculator
