1. Key Fee Change Basics Effective Date: January 15, 2026, right after the 2025 US FBA peak surcharge period (Oct 15, 2025 - Jan 14, 2026). A 50% extra peak surcharge applies Nov 23 - Dec 27 (Black Friday to Christmas). Average Hike: $0.08 per unit in FBA fulfillment costs (under 0.5% of average selling price), but combined with overlapping surcharges (e.g., EU/UK seasonal fees up to €0.19/unit), it significantly cuts seller profits. 2. Major Fee Adjustments Standard-Size Fulfillment Fees: Rises vary by price: +$0.12 (small, <$10), +$0.25/$0.05 (small/large, $10-$50), +$0.51/$0.31 (small/large, >$50); low-price discount up to $0.86. Low-Inventory/Aged Inventory Fees: Billing shifts to FNSKU (food exempt); 12-15 month inventory +$0.30/month, >15 months +$0.35/unit or $7.90/cu.ft (whichever higher); <0.5lb removal fee down $0.20. Inbound & Defect Fees: "Minimal Split" small items +$0.05; 3-20lb large items have new weight tiers; defect fee simplified to $0.6/unit. 3.

This SEO summary focuses on the new shipping regulations for lithium batteries at Ningbo Port, effective October 22, 2025. Issued under the guidance of Ningbo MSA, the key update mandates that all lithium battery cargo (classified as Class 9 dangerous goods, covering UN 3090, UN 3091, UN 3480, UN 3481, UN 3536) must submit both SDS (Safety Data Sheet) and UN38.3 test report for shipping via Ningbo Port—applying to export, import, transshipment, and transit scenarios. Without compliant documents, risks include cargo clearance delays, fines, or rejection. The UN38.3 report, a critical international safety standard for lithium battery transport, verifies safety via tests like temperature cycling, vibration, short-circuiting, and low-pressure simulation. Non-lithium batteries (e.g., nickel-cadmium, lead-acid) are exempt, but newly developed/redesigned lithium batteries need fresh UN38.3 testing. For enterprises navigating compliance, Goodship offers tailored solutions: professional document review (ensuring UN38.3 report-battery model consistency), priority cargo space with major carriers (ONE, MSC, COSCO, Maersk), door-to-door logistics covering China-US, China-Europe, and China-ASEAN routes, and one-stop customs clearance support.

A major logistics crisis has hit UPS in the U.S.: thousands of cross-border packages are stranded at hubs or destroyed, with consumers seeing "package failed customs clearance & destroyed" notices. The root cause is the U.S. government’s August 29 policy change – canceling duty-free status for imports under $800. This policy triggered customs clearance paralysis (T86 fast channel invalid, 3-5 day delays), cost surges ($80-$200 per package in transition, 10%-50% tariffs later), and stricter FDA-customs joint inspections. Sellers face shrinking profits & stock destruction risks; consumers suffer "loss of money & goods"; 26 countries have suspended U.S. shipments ahead of the year-end peak season. For sellers, solutions include switching to overseas warehouses, strengthening customs declaration compliance, and adjusting product strategies. The incident reflects the impact of U.S. unilateral trade policies, which will cost U.S. households an extra $47 billion yearly.
