MT Newswires Live00:18

Amazon.com (AMZN) said Thursday that starting April 17, it will apply a 3.5% surcharge to fulfillment fees across Fulfillment by Amazon in the US and Canada as well as Remote Fulfillment with FBA from the US into Canada, Mexico, and Brazil in response to rising fuel and logistics costs.

The surcharge imposed on sellers will be calculated based on fulfillment fees and not the item sale price. On average, it equates to $0.17 per unit for US FBA but varies based on item dimensions, the company said.

The surcharge will take effect for Buy with Prime in the US and Multi-Channel Fulfillment in the US and Canada, starting May 2, according to a statement.
