Low Inventory Fee Meltable Products
I have a meltable product with Amazon FBA that is required to be removed from fulfillment warehouses from April 15th to October 15th. It seems this product is going to be charged low inventory fees because I am slowly diminishing my inventory prior to the April 15th deadline (currently at <15 days long term and short term supply) because of this.
Is there any clarification that meltable products will be excluded from low inventory requirements?

Hi @Seller_yq5bWJNCwAofs,
Per the help page the units to which the fee wouldn't apply are the following:
- New Professional sellers, for the first 365 days after the first inventory-received date.
- New-to-FBA parent products for the first 180 days after the first inventory-received date. You must be enrolled in FBA New Selection to get this benefit. For more information, including seller and product eligibility, go to FBA New Selection.
- Products that are auto-replenished by Amazon Warehousing and Distribution.
That said, while I can't promise anything, given the novel structure I'm going to reach out and will advise here if there is any exception to that for meltable inventory prior to the April 15 deadline.

The easiest thing is to only do meltables as Seller Fulfilled. Or not at all.

I just received a 'helpful' email about avoiding low inventory fees for 3 products... all meltable. I'm not allowed to send them in, so how can they justify these fees? There needs to be exceptions.
