2025 Amazon FBA rejects easy to melt goods how to do?

A quick look at the core of the new Amazon US regulations

• Time Limit: From April 15 to October 15, 2025, Amazon US Station FBA stops receiving inventory of easy-to-fuse goods.

• Scope of impact: over 37,000 ASINs, covering food, beauty and personal care, household goods, etc. (e.g., chocolate, scented candles, crayons).

• Penalties: Failure to clear inventory will be marked as “undeliverable” and a processing fee will be charged, but sellers will be supported to self-distribute sales.

A while ago, Amazon US released a notice announcing that between April 15 and October 15, 2025, it will stop accepting meltable inventory. Inventory that is not cleared on time will be marked as “undeliverable” and charged a disposal fee. This policy involves more than 37,000 ASINs, covering a wide range of categories including food, household, pharmaceuticals, beauty and personal care.

The core of Amazon's new rules:

• Inbound Restrictions on Receiving: From April 15 to October 15, 2025, Amazon's operations centers will not receive inventory of easy-to-fuse items.

Inventory Liquidation Requirements: 

• Flexible inventory stored or shipped to Amazon's operations centers after April 15 will be marked as “undeliverable” and discarded starting May 1, 2025, and will be subject to a fee.

Sellers can self-distribute: 

• From May 1 to October 15, Amazon Distribution Centers will no longer distribute fusible products, but sellers can continue to sell them through the self-distribution model.

What are easily melted commodities?

Easily Meltable Commodities: Commodities that melt when exposed to temperatures of 68.3 degrees Celsius (155 degrees Fahrenheit) for extended periods of time. Includes, but is not limited to:

Food: Chocolate, fudge, gel candies (such as jellies), butter products, etc. Beauty and personal care: wax-based products (e.g., scented candles, wax for hair removal), cream-based skin care products. Household products: crayons, plastic products melted at low temperature.

The above commodities are prone to changes in physical state due to temperature changes, so special attention to temperature control is needed during storage and transportation to prevent quality problems caused by melting.

Note: Even if the product contains only a small amount of meltable ingredients, if it is determined by Amazon as meltable goods, it will also be affected. after May 1, the inventory of meltable goods that have not been removed will be marked as “non-deliverable” by the system, and FBA will not ship the goods even if someone places an order.
