Values used to calculate fee

Product size tier Product size tiers are measurement categories based on the unit weight, product dimensions, and dimensional weight of a packaged item. Learn how to determine your product-size tier, or use the Monthly Storage Fees report to see the size tier information for products you have previously stored in FBA.
Shipping weight Shipping weight is the item weight to ship an order of the item. The shipping weight is calculated based on the item’s unit weight or dimensional weight, depending on size tier and whichever is greater. Learn how to determine your product's shipping weight.

Rate cards

Use the size tier of your product to determine which rate card applies. If your product requires special handling*, then use the Oversize and special handling items rate card.

Note: Shipping weight in the standard-size tiers under 1 lb is calculated by rounding up to the nearest 0.1 lb. For the remaining size tiers, the shipping weight is calculated by rounding up to the nearest whole pound.
