Returns are one of the biggest hidden costs for Amazon sellers. With return rates approaching 30% across ecommerce, many FBA businesses quietly absorb losses through storage fees, removals, and disposals.
Amazon’s FBA Grade and Resell ASIN Inclusion Feature changes that equation by giving sellers ASIN-level control over which returned products are graded and resold.
This update marks a shift from passive return handling to active recovery strategy.

What Is the Amazon FBA Grade and Resell ASIN Inclusion Feature?
The ASIN Inclusion Feature allows sellers to:
- Enroll specific ASINs only
- Handpick up to 2,000 products
- Apply condition-based pricing
- Track recovery performance in Seller Central
- Automatically remove inactive SKUs
Instead of enrolling your entire catalog, you focus on products that maintain resale value.
Why This Matters for Amazon Sellers
Better Margin Recovery
Durable products recover significantly more value when graded and resold.
Lower Operational Waste
You avoid paying processing fees on products that don’t sell well after return.
Cleaner Inventory Management
Automatic out-of-stock removal prevents fee leakage.
Predictable Returns Strategy
Returns become measurable, optimizable, and forecastable.
According to Amazon data and third-party seller reports, sellers who actively manage return recovery see material improvements in net profitability.
Best Practices for ASIN Inclusion
- Start with high-return, durable ASINs
- Exclude trend-driven or fragile products
- Set conservative pricing floors
- Review recovery dashboards monthly
- Adjust ASIN selection based on performance data
