Urgent notice! Another new rule from Amazon is enforced!


text

The last compliance reminder is still fresh in my mind. Recently, a large number of sellers have received compliance requests from Amazon again.

Amazon has recently implemented a new policy that has widely affected many sellers. The two key points known at this stage are as follows:

First, the new regulations have officially come into effect ;

Second, for sellers who receive warnings but fail to submit the required documents on time, a large number of their product listings will be at risk of being removed .


1. Amazon releases button battery requirements

The announcement mentioned that starting from April 18, 2024: All consumer products containing button batteries or built-in such batteries sold on the Amazon platform must provide relevant compliance certificates. If sellers fail to submit valid compliance documents on time, the relevant product links will be at risk of being removed by the system.

The consumer products involved that contain button batteries are of various categories : calculators, cameras, flameless electronic candles, luminous clothing, shoes, holiday decorations, hanging flashlights, music greeting cards, various remote controls, and clocks, etc.

After the release of the compliance update for this type of goods, all sellers involved in the sale of the above-mentioned products have received notifications from Amazon to submit relevant qualification materials that comply with the new regulations.


II. How to ensure compliance

01

If the product contains a button battery

1. A GCC certificate (a declaration document indicating that the product has passed the UL 4200A standard test);
2. A UL4200A test report (a report approved by ISO17025; the report contains product images and must prove that it is the same as the product in the listing);
3. A picture of the product packaging with a barcode (with warning labels and information such as dangerous accidental ingestion).


02

If the product does not come with a button battery

1. Carefully check the description in the listing and delete or modify sensitive words that may cause misunderstanding ;

2. Submit a complaint, explain the product's purpose and materials, and clearly state that it does not contain button batteries.

Faced with the platform's increasingly rigorous scrutiny of compliance, sellers must have a thorough and accurate understanding of relevant laws and regulations and platform policies to ensure that their business operations are always in compliance.


In addition, sellers must always be highly alert to the status of their accounts, conduct regular self-examination and corrections, and avoid any behavior that may lead to platform penalties. When receiving compliance requirements from the platform, sellers should respond promptly and complete the compliance tasks set by the platform in a timely manner to ensure the stability and smoothness of store operations.
