FBA Donations program
The FBA Donations program makes it possible for you to automatically donate your unwanted inventory to selected charitable organizations.
How it works
When you request disposal of overstock, returned, or other unwanted FBA inventory, we make it available for donation to selected charities. Amazon makes the arrangements with the charities, helping to remove logistic, language, and cost barriers to donating your inventory. Donating your inventory may allow you to benefit from special VAT exemptions for donations. If a product is not eligible for donation, Amazon will dispose of it in accordance with relevant regulations and safety guidelines. Usual disposal fees apply.

Receipts for donations made in the previous year will be available in your Donation certificates page. Receipts are generated based on your business information in Seller Central. To verify or update your account information, go to Business address. Note that we will not be able to reissue your donation receipts.
To ensure compliance with France’s circular-economy regulations, we’re disabling the opt-out functionality of the FBA Donations program for inventory stored in France.
Inventory that is designated for disposal in our French fulfillment centers will be routed for donation through the FBA Donations program. Unfulfillable inventory that you have elected not to have returned to you, and that we determine is eligible for donation, may be affected.
It is your responsibility to ensure that any tax reporting obligations for donations are met. Contact your tax advisor for further advice.
Other countries: Donations in the European Union
The FBA Donations program is currently available only for inventory stored at fulfillment centers located in the countries listed above. Learn more about other FBA Value-recovery services.
