On the 15th of each month, Fulfillment by Amazon (FBA) conducts an inventory cleanup. On these dates, items that have been in JP fulfillment centers for more than 365 days on the inventory cleanup date incur a long-term storage fee (LTSF) of 17.773 JPY per cubic (10cm x 10cm x 10cm).

Media items that have been in a fulfillment center for more than 365 days will be subject to a minimum per-unit long-term storage fee of 10 JPY per unit per month. Either the long-term storage fee or the minimum per-unit long-term storage fee will apply, whichever is greater.

There is a cost for long-term storage space, and that cost is not built into our monthly storage cost structure. That is why we have the long-term storage fee. Any inventory that sells before they've been in our fulfillment centers for 365 days, or that sell after they've been in our fulfillment centers for 365 days or more but before the inventory cleanup dates (15th of every month), will not be charged the long-term storage fee. Likewise, any inventory for which you submit a removal request prior to the inventory cleanup dates will not be charged the long-term storage fee.
Use the Recommended Removals report and the Manage Inventory Health to identify the inventory that is subject to a long-term storage fee at the next inventory cleanup. Affected inventory appears in the Recommended Removals report six weeks prior to the cleanup date.
