On June 30, Amazon US released an announcement that since August 29, 2023, Amazon will terminate the light and small items program and switch to a lower standard FBA rate for all low-priced items priced below $10 USD.

The specific adjustments are as follows.

July 17, 2023 onwards, the U.S. station of all new products will no longer be able to register light small commodities program;.

Since August 29, Amazon officially closed the light small goods program, when the new low FBA rates will come into effect.

2、About FBA logistics cost

If the seller's products have been registered in the light small goods program, and the price is less than $ 10, which means that the logistics cost per piece of goods will be more than the light small goods program to pay about 0.30 U.S. dollars, but you can enjoy the normal distribution of the time limit;.

If the seller's products are not yet registered in the Light Small Goods Program and the price is less than $10, it means that the logistics cost per item will be reduced by about $0.77 and there is no need to pay the Holiday Peak Delivery Fee (applicable from October 15, 2023 to January 14, 2024), but can enjoy the normal delivery timeframe; and

If a seller's product is not yet registered with the Light Small Goods program and costs more than $10, Amazon will automatically apply standard FBA rates and shipping speeds.

Amazon said that after August 29, 2023, the price of goods less than $ 10 are automatically entitled to the new low FBA rates, without the need for sellers to take additional action, and also pointed out that the use of the new standard FBA rates will enable every seller who sells low-priced products to enjoy faster FBA delivery speeds, thereby improving consumer satisfaction.
