What happened?
Amazon announced updates to its 2026 US Referral and FBA fees. Overall US FBA fees will rise by approximately $0.08 per unit on average, an increase of less than 0.5% of the average selling price. According to the official explanation, the changes are concentrated in the FBA fulfillment-fee structure and tiered rates. No new FBA fee types will be introduced, while costs will be further differentiated based on factors including packaging, inbound transportation method, inventory health, and delivery region. For low-price products, a fixed $0.08 increase may have a larger impact than the platform’s published average percentage. Actual rates for clothing, home goods, small appliances, oversized items, and products with high dimensional weight may also be affected by size, weight, price range, and peak-season factors. The original notice advises sellers not to rely only on the overall average, but to use Revenue Calculator and Fee and Economics Preview Report to calculate net profit, advertising budgets, and minimum acceptable prices by SKU.
What does this mean for cross-border sellers?
US FBA fees will rise by approximately $0.08 per unit on average in 2026, but individual SKUs will vary based on size, weight, price range, packaging, and delivery region.
