Update on ARIN’s Transfer Fees

As of the 1st of January 2023, ARIN has a new sliding scale for transfer fees. The RIR now charges two separate fees: one fee to the source (the seller) and one fee to the recipient (the buyer).

ARIN’s new fee schedule has been updated to the following:

Source fee: $500 USD to initiate a transfer ticket
Recipient Fee: depends on block size and must be paid upon approval of the transfer

Theoretically, the top fee is $192,000 for recipients of blocks of more than 67 million addresses.
