FBA Sellers: Remove Meltable Inventory Before April 15, 2025

Starting April 15, 2025, Amazon will no longer accept meltable inventory for storage or shipment, which includes heat-sensitive items that can melt at temperatures of 155°F. This policy primarily impacts products like chocolate, gummies, jelly-based items, and wax-based products.  

Any remaining meltable inventory in Amazon's fulfillment centers after April 15 will be marked as unfulfillable and disposed of for a fee. The restricted period will last until October 15, 2025, during which time meltable products cannot be stored or fulfilled by Amazon.

Preparing for Removal of Meltable Inventory on Amazon 2025:

To avoid disposal fees and inventory issues, sellers must review the Meltable ASINs List to identify which of their products are affected. Sellers should remove any impacted products from FBA before April 15, 2025, using the FBA Removal Order tool in Seller Central. If sellers believe their products have been mistakenly listed as meltable, they can submit documentation to Amazon's Selling Partner Support. This documentation must include product details, confirmation of the product's temperature tolerance, and a contact for verification.

Selling Meltable Products on Amazon via Merchant-Fulfilled Method:

For sellers with meltable products that are essential to their sales, Amazon recommends switching to Merchant Fulfilled (FBM) during the restricted period. This ensures that these products can still be sold through Amazon without being subject to the FBA meltable storage restrictions. However, it's critical to plan early and manage fulfillment logistics to prevent disruptions in sales.
