Amazon announces a new shipping fee for the Christmas peak 2025 in Germany. The additional costs will apply from October 15, 2025 to January 14, 2026 for FBA orders via Pan-EU, the European Fulfillment Network, or UK cross-border shipping. The average surcharge is €0.19 per item. From October 1st, sellers can check the additional costs in the revenue calculator and the fee preview.
What do sellers need to be aware of?
Calculate the Christmas fee precisely: Check how the new shipping fee will impact your margins. Adjust your prices and advertising strategies in time to avoid potential losses and ensure profitability.
Pay attention to exemptions: Take strategic advantage of the exemption for oversized and low-priced items. These items are excluded from the fee, which can help reduce costs. Identify relevant products and optimize their listing.
Use preview tools: From October 1, 2025, use the revenue calculator and fee preview tools on Amazon to understand the financial impact early on. This allows you to plan wisely and adapt flexibly to market conditions.
