• Amazon's recent new regulations mainly involve FBA compensation, packaging standards, AWD rates, and other aspects. The following are the specific contents:



• FBA Compensation Policy Update: Starting from March 10, 2025, Amazon will compensate consumers for lost or damaged goods before placing an order based on the "manufacturing cost" of the goods, no longer based on the selling price of the goods, and does not cover additional costs such as shipping, handling fees, tariffs, etc. Sellers need to prepare supporting documents such as purchase invoices and logistics receipts to prove manufacturing costs. If they fail to provide them in a timely manner, Amazon will use official estimated costs for compensation, which may result in the seller receiving a compensation amount lower than expected.


• Sharp edged product packaging standard update: Starting from April 14th, all sharp edged products sent to Amazon fulfillment centers must comply with the new packaging standards. Sellers should ensure that sharp edges or corners of the product are not exposed, and use sturdy and damage resistant packaging materials such as hardened plastic or vacuum formed packaging for proper packaging. The packaging must use anti cutting and anti puncture materials, and the goods must be included in the packaging at all stages. Otherwise, they will be immediately discarded after being delivered to the operation center, and the related costs will be borne by the seller. Amazon does not provide compensation.
• 

AWD rate structure adjustment: Amazon plans to implement a new AWD rate structure starting from April 1st, abolishing the existing integrated rate model and adopting a new approach that combines "smart warehousing rates" with "management rates".
New Product Compliance Regulations: Amazon's US and Canadian sites will implement new product compliance regulations. Before April 21, 2025, electric transportation equipment and its accessories sold at US or Canadian stations, such as electric scooters, electric bicycles, batteries, handlebars, etc., must pass new compliance testing, otherwise they will face the risk of being taken down.
