Meltable FBA Inventory Must Be Removed by April 20, 2026
Amazon's annual meltable inventory restriction begins soon. Heat-sensitive products like chocolates, gummies, and wax-based items must be removed from FBA by April 20. Any remaining meltable inventory after May 1 will be marked unfulfillable and may be disposed of at the seller's expense. Amazon's notice said it would not accept meltable inventory from April 20 through September 28, 2026; an August update later reopened FBA to meltables in two product-type waves starting August 31 and September 21, 2026.
