Amazon changed how the Low-Inventory-Level Fee is calculated in 2026. It now applies at the individual FNSKU level rather than the parent ASIN level. Each FNSKU is assessed separately against the 28-day supply threshold. Now extends to Small Bulky and Large Bulky products. Grocery items remain exempt.

Products not enrolled in Ships in Product Packaging may face fees exceeding $2 per unit for bulky items. SIPP enrollment is available inside Seller Central at no cost.
