Shopping with confidence is one of Amazon’s highest priorities. Health and beauty products are at increased risk of safety complaints. If you wish to sell certain types of health and beauty products as listed below, you must apply and submit documents showing that the products are safe for customers.
For more information about selling products with safety selling restrictions, including how to list such products, see Selling Restrictions on Safety Risk Products.
Amazon wants its customers to be able to shop with confidence. In particular, products designed for the care of babies and small children are at increased risk of safety issues. Therefore, sellers who wish to sell various baby products are required to apply and submit documents showing that the products are safe for customers.
In order to list products with selling restrictions, follow these steps:
For sellers who list their products through an inventory file or API, their products may appear on the Manage Inventory page as inactive. When you click Edit, you will be prompted to apply for approval as above (start at step 4).
If you wish to sell a product that is not currently offered on Amazon, but does require approval, please create the product. When the product is created, it will be put into ‘inactive’ status on the Manage Inventory page. Please click Edit and apply to list the product.
If you have applied to sell previously and have not heard back, or to complete a draft application, please go to Catalogue then > Add products on Seller Central and click Selling application status.
