Amazon Data Kiosk Adds Three New Fee Types to Economics Dataset via SP-API
Amazon’s Data Kiosk economics dataset now includes three new fee fields—fbaInboundPlacementFee, digitalServiceFeeSOA, and digitalServiceFeeFBA—effective 13 Feb 2026. Placement fees range $0.30‑$3.00 per unit, while digital‑service fees apply a 2%‑3% tax in the UK, France, Italy, Spain and other jurisdictions.
Overview
Amazon has broadened the Data Kiosk economics dataset by adding three new fee categories: FBA inbound placement fees, digital services fees for Selling on Amazon (SOA), and digital services fees for Fulfilled‑by‑Amazon (FBA). The expansion is live today and is delivered through the existing SP‑API GraphQL endpoint, giving sellers and developers a single source for fee details that previously required stitching together multiple reports.
Key Points
- FBA inbound placement fees — Fees range from $0.30 to $3.00 per unit, depending on how many fulfillment centers Amazon splits a shipment into.
- Digital services fee (SOA) — A 2 % or 3 % tax is levied on referral‑related charges in the United Kingdom, France, Italy, Spain and other jurisdictions that have introduced a digital services tax.
- Digital services fee (FBA) — The same 2 %–3 % rate is applied specifically to FBA fulfillment fees when sellers are subject to the digital services tax.
- No API version change — The new fields are available in the current GraphQL schema, so existing queries continue to work without modification.
- JSONL output — Results are streamed in line‑delimited JSON, enabling easy ingestion by BI tools, data lakes, or custom dashboards.
- Immediate availability — Sellers can start querying the new fee types today; only the query payload needs to be updated to request the additional fields.
How Data Kiosk Economics Dataset Works
-
Select the fee fields — In the GraphQL query, add the new field names (e.g.,
fbaInboundPlacementFee,digitalServiceFeeSOA,digitalServiceFeeFBA).
Example: A seller who previously queriedreferralFeenow addsdigitalServiceFeeSOAto see the tax applied to that fee. -
Define the time window and marketplace — Use the
dateRangeandmarketplaceIdarguments to limit the data to a specific period and region. : Request fees for the UK marketplace from 01‑Jan‑2024 to 31‑Mar‑2024 to capture the 2 % digital services tax on both SOA and FBA charges.
Analysis & Recommendations
Why This Matters
Sellers can now retrieve placement and digital‑service taxes in a single GraphQL call, eliminating manual report stitching and reducing margin‑calculation errors. The JSONL output streamlines integration with BI tools, enabling real‑time cost dashboards across European markets.
