First, excess inventory includes aging inventory. Compared with monthly inventory storage fees, aging inventory surcharges are much higher. Fees for aging inventory stored for more than 365 days are even higher and can be up to 13 times as much.

In addition to aging inventory, excess inventory also includes Amazon-predicted products with holding costs that exceed liquidation costs, which means the storage cost of the products may be higher than the cost of advertising, liquidations, or removal. Therefore, Amazon recommends that you actively clear this excess inventory, manage your storage capacity limits, free up space for bestselling products, and save on storage fees.

In addition, in the “FBA Inventory” tool, you can sort by “Estimated excess quantity” to identify excess inventory. Also, under “Actions” on the right, the FBA Inventory tool provides recommendations for each of your ASINs, and you can decide whether to adopt them based on your product market and business situation.

● Sellers in the US Marketplace can use the Remote Fulfillment Program with FBA (NARF) to sell synchronized inventory in Canada and Mexico.
● Sellers in Europe can use the European Fulfillment Network (EFN) and Pan-EU FBA to sell synchronized inventory on other European Marketplaces.

With Multi-Channel Fulfillment (MCF), you can sell not only on other Amazon Marketplaces, but also on third-party platforms, helping you expand into more markets and clear inventory.

Outlet limited-time promotion is a promotion channel for customers that helps clear overstock through markdowns, with the goal of helping FBA sellers address excess inventory. Products in the Outlet limited-time promotion offer buyers a discount of at least 20% (20% off). Currently, the channel has reached customers on almost all Amazon sites. -

As a promotional channel for exposure and traffic, Amazon Outlet is a great tool for cross-border sellers. Amazon currently has Outlet entry points on both desktop and mobile, bringing in significant traffic to help sellers boost sales and optimize inventory!

If your Amazon storage capacity is low or your inventory is close to becoming aging inventory, you can use the Amazon SPN Service Provider Network to find overseas warehouses and move some of your inventory to a third-party overseas warehouse for storage and sale.

The Amazon SPN Service Provider Network conducts a comprehensive evaluation of local service providers based on factors such as reputation, service capabilities, and brand influence, and ultimately selects more than 90 local service providers to offer sellers six major service categories, including overseas warehouse services.

Automated fulfillable inventory removal can help you minimize losses from inventory removal. Automated removal does not directly dispose of inventory. Instead, it automatically helps you process your inventory in descending order of value recovery, with no manual action needed from sellers. If you no longer want to use automated removal later, you can opt out of it at any time in Seller Central.

● If the seller has a return address on the 【Automated fulfillable inventory settings】 page and chooses to return the inventory, it will be returned by default to the address provided by the seller;
● If there is no return address, the seller's inventory will automatically be cleared through FBA Liquidations to recover value.

Bulk Liquidations refers to selling inventory to liquidators that work with Amazon. This can help sellers clear excess inventory and returned products, avoid disposal order fees, and recover 5–20% of the product value.
