Most announced fee changes start January 15, 2027; FBA fulfillment rises $0.19 per unit on average, with product-specific increases and decreases. From February 1, storage-utilization surcharges end, aged-inventory and monthly storage charges merge into age-based rates, and low-inventory assessment changes. The previously reported fuel and logistics surcharge continues unchanged.

## Our read

Check rates per apparel SKU. In our hypothetical $30 sale with $10 cost and 15% commission, raising fulfillment from $4 to $4.19 cuts calculated profit from $11.50 to $11.31. Slow-moving sizes and colors also need an inventory-age review.

Publication uses the official datePublished metadata. Most changes start January 15; storage and low-inventory rules follow February 1.

## Who is affected

- US FBA apparel sellers need SKU-specific fee estimates.
- Slow-moving variations face higher aged-stock costs; inventory turning within six months is described as flat or cheaper.
- February low-inventory assessment uses actual shipments in the four weeks before and after assessment, with a below-28-day supply threshold.
- Fully seller-fulfilled orders outside FBA do not incur these FBA charges.

## Run the numbers

A hypothetical $0.19 fulfillment increase (StoreCalc landed-cost calculator)

| Scenario | Fulfillment | Profit/order | Break-even price |
|---|---|---|---|
| Assumed old cost | $4.00 | $11.50 | $16.47 |
| Assumed new cost | $4.19 | $11.31 | $16.69 |

Assumes a $30 sale, $10 duty-paid cost, one unit/order, 15% commission and zero other inbound, payment, ad or return costs. Fulfillment includes any applicable surcharge. This isolates a hypothetical delivery-cost change, not a SKU quote or storage forecast. The link loads the new cost; set fulfillment to 4 for the old scenario.

## What to do

- Use the fee-comparison dashboard and Revenue Calculator, then enter actual fulfillment totals in StoreCalc.
- Review age and replenishment by size and color; budget January fulfillment separately from February storage and low-inventory changes.
