How to calculate the FBN Outbound Fee and the Inventory Removal Fee in UAE
1. The FBN Outbound Fee
Note:
The FBN Outbound Fee is charged upon shipping the order to the customer, and
is not refunded if the order is returned.
Follow the below listed guidelines to determine the FBN Outbound Fee for each of your items:
1. First, start by selecting the classification (small, standard, large, or oversize) of the packaging that will hold your product based on your product dimensions using the Classification Tier table.
2. Next, calculate your product’s shipping weight by using the below formula, then round it to the nearest 50g:
Shipping weight = the product’s physical weight + the packaging weight of a particular classification
3. Ensure that the shipping weight of the product isn’t above the maximum shipping weight of the classification associated with your product dimensions. If the shipping weight is higher, then the next classification tier will apply.
4. Finally, select the FBN Outbound Fee that will apply to your product based on the packaging classification, and the weight slab that’s equivalent to your shipping weight.
| Classification | Longest side (cm) | Median (cm) | Shortest (cm) | Packaging material Weight (g) | Max Shipping Weight (Kg)* |
| Small envelope | <=20 | <=15 | <=1 | 20 | 0.1 |
| Standard envelope | <=33 | <=23 | <=2.5 | 40 | 0.5 |
| Large envelope | <=33 | <=23 | <=5 | 40 | 1 |
| Standard Parcel | <=45 | <=34 | <=26 | 100 | 12 |
| Oversize | <=130 | <=34 | <=26 | 240 | 30 |
| Extra Oversize** | <=130 | <=130 | <=130 | 240 | 30 |
| Bulky | Everything else | 400 | |||

Dimensions: 17.4 x 8.81 x 2.8 cm
Unit Physical Weight: 0.32 kg
Based on the dimensions, this is a large envelope which has 0.04 kg of packaging weight. The corresponding shipping weight is:
Shipping Weight = Unit Weight + Packaging Weight = (0.32+0.04) kg = 0.36 kg (approximately 0.4 kg)
Therefore, this is under the 1 kg maximum shipping weight for large envelopes.
There is only one weight slab for large envelopes:
| FBN Outbound Fee | Weight Slab | Cost per Unit (AED) |
| Large envelope | One rate | 8.5 |
2. Inventory Removal Fee
- Delivery request:
2. Next, identify your product's physical weight in kg.
3. Choose the highest weight (either the volumetric weight or the physical weight). After that, refer to the fees in the below table to multiply the highest weight by the Same-city or the Cross-city Fee, whichever is applicable depending on your shipment transfer mode. Then add the Handling Fee to the total.
| Inventory Removal | Unit of measurement | AE |
| AED | ||
| Minimum fee per Inventory removal request | 15 | |
| Handling fee (per unit) | per unit | 0.3 |
| Same-city delivery fee | per KG* | 1.0 |
| Cross-city delivery fee | per KG* | 1.0 |
Dimensions: 25.2 x 119.9 x 46.6 cm
Unit Physical Weight: 20.6 kg
The volumetric weight = 25.2 x 119.9 x 46.6 / 5000 = 28.16 kg
We'll use the volumetric weight (28.16 kg) because it's higher than the physical weight (20.6 kg).
We'll determine the Inventory Removal fee by multiplying the volumetric weight by the Handling Fee and the Same-city delivery Fee.
Inventory Removal Fee = (28.16 x 1) + 0.3 = 28.46 AED
- Collection request
2. Next refer to the processing fee in the below table. Multiply the processing fee to the cubic feet value of the item.
3. Lastly add the handling fee as mentioned in the table to get the Inventory Removal fees.
| Inventory Removal | Unit of measurement | AE |
| AED | ||
| Minimum fee per Inventory removal request | 15 | |
| Handling fee (per unit) | per unit | 0.3 |
| Processing fees | per Cubic feet* | 0.8 |
Dimensions: 25.2 x 119.9 x 46.6 cm
Cubic feet volume = 25.2 x 119.9 x 46.6 / 28,317 = 4.972 CBF
We'll determine the Inventory Removal fee by multiplying the cubic feet (CBF) by the Processing fees and adding the Handling Fee
Inventory Removal Fee = (4.972 x 0.8) + 0.3 = 4.277 AED
Since this is lower than the minimum fee per request, 15 AED fee will be applicable.
That’s it!
