Amazon’s 2025 Meltable Inventory Policy: What Sellers Need to Know
Amazon recently announced stricter guidelines for storing and shipping meltable FBA inventory, effective April 15, 2025. If you sell heat-sensitive products like chocolate, gummies, or wax-based goods, this update directly impacts your operations. Here’s a breakdown of the changes and how to adapt proactively.
Key Changes to the Policy
Restricted Storage Window:
Amazon will no longer accept meltable inventory at fulfillment centers from April 15 – October 15, 2025.
Disposal Risks:
Inventory remaining after April 15 may be marked unfulfillable and disposed of for a fee starting May 1, 2025.
Seller-Fulfilled Options:
You can still sell meltable products via seller-fulfilled methods during this period, provided you ensure temperature-controlled shipping.
