Amazon cross-border e-commerce sellers who use FBA to fulfill orders need to pay Amazon for both storage and fulfillment costs. Storage fees are charged on a monthly basis (between the 7th and 15th of each month), and fulfillment fees are charged on a per-unit basis.
Among them, the monthly storage fee is calculated based on product size grade, daily average volume (unit: cubic feet), product attributes (dangerous or non-dangerous) and storage period ((January-September and October-December have different charging standards) The formula is: unit product storage fee = daily average product unit quantity x unit product volume x storage rate for the corresponding month.
Fulfillment fees include order product picking, packaging, shipping, and customer support, and are generally general except for apparel and hazmat. Rate calculations are based on size class and shipping weight of unpackaged product (dimensions or unit weight - whichever is greater).
5. Amazon cross-border e-commerce removal and disposal fees

· Products that cannot be fulfilled due to damage, mislabeling, storage errors, etc.;
· Hoarding products with inactive listings.
