MarketRate
US100% PCOG + $2 per unit — the same amount at all three compliance tiers; it does not decrease as compliance improves [1]US. The standalone Expired Product page states the same amount: $2 per unit plus 100% of the cost of the product [3]US
CASame as US: 100% PCOG + $2 per unit at every tier [1]CA
Internal note — not shown in productSE / PL 两行为 2026-09-08 实测 —— 本单元 EU 费率来源页 GRWSA8S934RXN6UX 在 vendorcentral.amazon.se 与 .pl 均返回 HTTP 404;两站现存的 6 个 chargeback 帮助页全文无任何金额。故按"未公布费率"处理,不套用 UK / DE 金额
Internal note — not shown in product2026-09-08 定稿(owner 裁定) —— DE / IT 的 Receiving accuracy 页费率表确实列有 "Expiration date is less than 30 days" 与 "Expiration date is in the past" 两行,两行同额 1.70 EUR per unit + 85% PCOGS,已用当日新 cookie 对 DE / IT / FR 三站全量重抓复核(费率表与 2026-09-02 快照一字不差)。原 P4-4 的"拼接产物"结论作废:€1.70 并非取自 D6,DE / IT 本条目自身即为该金额。FR 页确认无任何 expiry 行,回退结论对 FR 仍成立。
