Closing Fee (based on Price)
Closing Fee is charged every time your product is sold on Amazon based on the price range of the product. This fee also varies based on the fulfillment channel you are using

Different fee rates are applicable based on distance
Local rate will be applicable where the pickup and delivery happen in the same city i.e. intra-city pickup and delivery
Regional zone consists of four regions. Regional rate will apply if shipment moves within the same region and the service is not within the same city.
National rate will apply if shipment moves across regions.

The size of your product is classified differently for FBA & Easy Ship and depends on the product weight and length, width & height once packed
Heavy & Bulky: *Item from categories such as Large Appliances, TV, Sports & Furniture are classified as 'Heavy & Bulky' items if it meets one or more of the following criteria: -Item package weight is more than 30 kg or item package length is more than 240 cm or item package girth# is more than 400 cm; or -Item requires special handling during pickup, delivery & installation. #Girth = [Length + 2*(Width + Height)] 'Heavy & Bulky' items are currently not eligible for delivery nationally under Easy Ship.
For standard-size items, the minimum chargeable weight is 500 gms. In case of items that weigh more than 500 gms, you will be charged in multiples of the price applicable for each 500 gms. For example, the Amazon Easy Ship Weight-Handling Fees for 800 gms package being shipped to a regional location will amount to INR 66 i.e. INR 45 (charge for first 500 gms) + INR 21 (charge for next 500 gms).
Amazon Easy Ship Fees is computed on volumetric or actual weight, whichever is higher. Volumetric weight is calculated as Volumetric Weight (kg) = (Length x Breadth x Height)/5000 where LBH are in cm.
