    Quick summary

    Complete guide to Amazon FBA removal and disposal orders in India. Covers when to remove, costs, liquidation options, and strategies to avoid long-term storage fees.

    🎯 TL;DR

    Remove FBA inventory before it hits 271+ days to avoid ₹150/cubic ft aged storage fees. Options: removal to seller address (₹10-40/unit), disposal (₹10-20/unit), or liquidation (50-70% loss but quick). Create removal orders in Seller Central → Inventory → Remove Inventory. Monitor aged inventory weekly using IPI dashboard.

    When to Remove FBA Inventory

    • Before day 271: Aged storage fees kick in at ₹150/cubic ft/month
    • Slow-moving products: Sell-through rate below 1 unit/week
    • Seasonal items: After season ends (festival products after Diwali)
    • Low IPI score: Remove excess to improve IPI above 400
    • Product updates: Old packaging/version being replaced
