Amazon widens international FBA inbound receiving windows and refunds some fees for peak season

What changed: For inbound plans created between August 1 and November 30, Amazon extended the window for linked shipments to 45 days (up from 30) after first receipt, extended automatic closure to 90 days, and is reimbursing already-charged qualifying fees automatically.

When: Deadline: Nov 30, 2026.

Who is affected: Amazon sellers (Best sellers).

What to do: If you shipped split international inbound plans this fall, check that the refunds land; defects may still show on the Inbound Performance Dashboard, and only plans created by November 30 qualify.
