Amazon is adding a 3.5% “fuel and logistics-related surcharge” to fees it collects from third-party sellers who use its fulfillment services, as the war in Iran stretches into its fifth week, driving up oil prices.

The surcharge will take effect on April 17, for sellers in the U.S. and Canada, the company wrote in a note to sellers on Thursday that was viewed by CNBC.

“Elevated costs in fulfillment and logistics have increased the cost of operating across the industry,” Amazon wrote. “We have absorbed these increased costs so far. However, similar to other major carriers, when costs remain elevated, we implement temporary surcharges on our fulfillment fees to recover a portion of the actual cost increases we are experiencing.”

Amazon spokesperson Ashley Vanicek said in a statement that the surcharge is “meaningfully lower” than levies applied by other major carriers.


Expect these costs to be passed on to the customers.
