Amazon has updated the procedure for recording package dimensions for FBA items. This especially affects sellers who are registered outside of Germany. As of April 30, these sellers must ensure that their package dimensions are correct and certified. If discrepancies are found, Amazon will use its own certified measurements for fee calculation.
What do sellers need to be aware of?
Provide certified measurements: Make sure all packaging dimensions are correct by April 30, otherwise Amazon will use its own measurements. This directly affects shipping fees.
Certification according to EU standards: Use measuring tools that comply with the EU directive. This is crucial to avoid measurement discrepancies and additional fees.
Take advantage of re-measurement: Request a new measurement if the measurements established by Amazon do not match your own. This protects you from potential misbilling.
