Fuel and logistics-related surcharge: FBA and MCF in EU
Elevated costs in fuel and logistics have increased the cost of operating across the industry. We have absorbed these increased costs so far. However, similar to other major carriers, when costs remain elevated, we implement temporary surcharges on our fulfilment fees to recover a portion of the actual cost increases we are experiencing.
Starting from April 17, 2026, a 1.5% fuel and logistics-related surcharge will be applied to fulfilment fees across Fulfilment by Amazon (FBA) in the UK, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Poland, Sweden, Netherlands, Ireland and Belgium. Starting from May 2, 2026, this same surcharge will take effect for Multi-Channel Fulfilment (MCF) in the UK, France, Germany, Italy and Spain. Due to the work we have already done together to lower costs, this surcharge is meaningfully lower than other major carriers.
The surcharge will be calculated on your fulfilment fees, not on the sale price of your items. On average, this equates to £0.05/€0.05 per unit for EU FBA, although this will vary based on your item’s size and dimensions. Profit Analytics, Revenue Calculator and the Fee and Economics Preview reports have been updated to reflect the surcharge and provide both the per-unit impact and the full business impact for your FBA products.
We know this impacts your business. The tools above are available to help you plan, and we will continue to evaluate this surcharge as conditions evolve.
Thank you for your ongoing partnership.

But if we try and increase our selling price by even a few pence we will lose Featured Offer due to Amazon claiming uncompetitive prices.

one of many reasons I refuse to use Amazon for International sales. Even the UK account has become that abusive do not know how much longer will stay here either
I ended my partnership as you abused my business too many times

I hope Amazon will allow sellers to increase their selling prices without removing the Featured Offer.

if it is 1.5% then say it is 1.5% and leave it at that
you cannot then cite "on average an extra charge" of £0.05 it is meaningless
every seller is different £0.05 might apply to a seller with cd/dvd titles in fba
but different for someone selling furniture
