Amazon Implements 3.5% Fuel and Logistics Surcharge for FBA Sellers

Amazon implemented a 3.5% fuel and logistics surcharge for Fulfillment by Amazon (FBA) sellers. The fee applies to merchants in the United States and Canada. The surcharge takes effect April 17, 2026. Amazon introduced the temporary measure to offset rising fuel and operational costs. The move mirrors surcharges by FedEx and UPS.

The fee applies on top of existing fulfillment charges. The surcharge adds an average of 17 cents per unit for sellers. Merchants may pass these costs to consumers through higher product prices.

Sellers reportedly protested these and other policy changes with a 24-hour advertising boycott.
