Teach you in one minute what certification is required to sell products on Amazon?

Seller friends all know that the rules of the Amazon platform are becoming more and more stringent. In the past, Amazon might not require you to provide certification for some products even if you sold them for a long time. But now, you are required to provide certification when you put the products on the shelves or after you have been selling them for a while.

For experienced sellers, it is still relatively clear what certifications are required for their products. However, for novice sellers, they have no experience, so they may be confused about what certifications are required for their products. For those sellers who are preparing to enter the Amazon e-commerce platform, they also have similar concerns.

Regarding this issue, today Calabash Brothers will share with you several methods.

Method 1: Open a case directly for consultation , but not all product cases can give you an accurate answer. Because the customer service can't answer many small or unpopular categories, they will only ask you to upload and see if there is any error in the background asking for any certification. Generally, the more common ones will tell you.

Method 2: Consult third-party organizations or tools, such as suppliers, certification authorities or AI tools, etc. They will have relevant information. You can also directly use AI tools for consultation.

Method 3: Official compliance tool - Compliance Reference. Compliance Reference is a self-help tool for Amazon sellers that aggregates multiple compliance requirements into a unified product type level. Sellers can query compliance information by keyword/product category/UK & EU regulations and conduct compliance assessments.

▶ Three ways to search: category, HS code , product keyword.

Note: Due to the lag in platform updates and differences in classification systems, many categories cannot be found, so I personally recommend using keywords for searches as much as possible.

▶ How to solve the problem of keyword search failure

If the keyword search fails, it may be because you have not paid attention to a detail. In the background language, if you use Chinese, many products will not be found when searching!

There is no result, so you need to switch to English at this time——

After switching, you can check which certification the product requires. Although I don’t know the principle behind this, many products have such results. For many products, you cannot find the certification results when searching using the Chinese interface (note that the keywords are of course entered in English), but you can find them when searching in English .

▶ Compliance content

The certification required for a specific product depends on factors such as product category, market requirements and regional regulations.

▶ Service provider selection

Find the result and click on it to see all the certifications required for the product on Amazon, and it also provides service providers for related certifications.

After selecting a service provider, click "Create Report" to see the service provider's contact information.

Therefore, before you start listing on Amazon, it is recommended to use the above methods to understand the specific certification requirements of the products you sell and ensure that your products meet the relevant requirements.
