Amazon Announces 2027 Canada FBA Fee Changes — Fulfilment Fees Up CAD 0.21 per Unit on Average, Storage Surcharges Restructured
Amazon has posted its 2027 updates to Canada referral and Fulfilment by Amazon fees, mirroring the structure of the US update. FBA fulfilment fees in the Canada store will rise by an average of CAD 0.21 per unit sold (about 0.6% of the average item's selling price), with some products going up and others going down, and most changes take effect January 15, 2027. From February 1, 2027, the storage utilization surcharge is removed, the aged inventory surcharge is merged into a single age-based monthly storage rate, and the low-inventory-level fee is narrowed to inventory below 28 days of supply. The fuel and logistics surcharge is unchanged.
Real-World Impact
At Amazon's stated average increase of CAD 0.21 per unit, a seller shipping 1,000 FBA units a month in Canada would pay about CAD 210 more per month in fulfilment fees — though individual ASINs may rise more, less, or even fall depending on size and price.
Key Points
- FBA fulfilment fees in Canada increase by an average of CAD 0.21 per unit sold, roughly 0.6% of the average item's selling price
- The impact varies by product, size and price — some fees will rise and others will fall so each fee better matches Amazon's cost to fulfil that product
- Most changes take effect January 15, 2027; the storage and low-inventory-level fee changes take effect February 1, 2027
- The storage utilization surcharge is eliminated, and the aged inventory surcharge is folded into monthly storage fees as one age-based rate — flat or lower fees for inventory that turns in under six months, higher fees for aged inventory
- The low-inventory-level fee will apply only when inventory falls below 28 days of supply, measured on shipments in the four weeks before and after the assessment date (replacing the trailing 30- and 90-day sales method)
- The FBA fuel and logistics surcharge introduced in April 2026 stays unchanged, and Amazon says it will continue to review it
