What happened?
According to an Amazon US announcement, starting October 26, 2026, sellers creating or editing listings for certain products must answer new dangerous goods and compliance questions. The platform aims to identify product attributes, reduce shipping restrictions, misclassification, and unnecessary disposal fees. Applicable categories include refrigerators, air conditioners, freezing equipment, and other products requiring refrigerant information; shock absorbers and suspension struts; markers and other writing instruments; and pool and spa water treatment products. Relevant sellers must submit or confirm information about refrigerants, ink attributes, chemical composition, and packaging. The requirement applies to sellers offering these products in the US store, particularly FBA, automotive parts, home appliance, stationery, and pool chemical sellers. Amazon also requires the information to be accurate and complete; otherwise, listings may face launch delays, restricted fulfillment methods, or incorrect classification.
What does this mean for cross-border sellers?
Certain dangerous goods listings in the US store will require additional dangerous goods and compliance questions when created or edited, covering home appliances, automotive parts, writing instruments, and pool water treatment products. Inaccurate or incomplete information may delay listing activation, restrict fulfillment, or cause misclassification. FBA sellers should prioritize an audit.
