What happened?
An Amazon Europe seller announcement states that the FBA fuel and logistics surcharge will change from 1.5% to 2% starting November 2, 2026. The fee applies to FBA fulfillment fees on the UK, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Poland, Sweden, Netherlands, Ireland and Belgium marketplaces, and is calculated based on the fulfillment fee rather than the product price. Amazon estimates an average increase of about £0.02 or €0.02 per item, although the actual amount will vary by product size, weight and delivery region. For cross-border sellers using FBA, the cost change may also affect inventory allocation across European marketplaces, profit floors for low-priced products and advertising cost tolerance. Amazon also said that comparable MCF surcharge changes in the UK, France, Germany, Italy and Spain will take effect on November 19. Sellers operating their own stores, Shopify or other channels while using MCF should therefore check FBA and MCF fulfillment quotes separately.
What does this mean for cross-border sellers?
From November 2, 2026, the FBA fuel and logistics surcharge across 10 European marketplaces will rise from 1.5% to 2%, directly increasing fulfillment costs and tightening margins for low-priced and high-delivery-cost products. Sellers using MCF should also track the changes effective November 19 and recalculate FBA, MCF and channel-specific fulfillment quotes separately.
