How to determine the unit weight

For new products, you should weigh your fully packaged product. Grams (g) and kilograms (kg) are both used as inputs for fee calculations in Europe.

Important: If a product is sold as a set, the weight and dimensions are the combined total of all of the items in the set packaged together.

For the products that you currently have in FBA inventory, you can look up your unit weight using the Fee Preview report. To do so:

Note: Amazon may verify the weight and dimensions of a product using representative samples. Amazon’s information about a product’s weight and dimensions will be used to calculate fees if there is a difference between Amazon’s information and a seller’s information. Amazon may change its information about a product’s weight and dimensions from time to time to reflect updated measurements. Fees based on the weight and dimensions of a product are calculated using Amazon’s information about the weight and dimensions of that product at the time the fee is calculated.
