Restricted products

Customers trust that they can always buy with confidence on Amazon. Products offered for sale on Amazon must comply with all laws and regulations and with Amazon's policies. The sale of illegal or unsafe products or products that violate Amazon policy is strictly prohibited.

If you supply goods on Amazon, you should carefully review the Restricted products help pages listed below before listing a product. The examples provided in these help pages are not all-inclusive and are provided solely as an informational guide. We encourage you to consult with your legal counsel if you have questions about the laws and regulations concerning your products. Even where a product is listed as an example of permitted listings, all products and listings must also comply with applicable laws. In addition, any links provided are for informational purposes only, and Amazon does not warrant the accuracy of any information provided in these links.

If you supply a product in violation of the law or any of Amazon’s policies including those listed on the Restricted products pages, we will take corrective actions, as appropriate, including but not limited to immediately suspending or terminating selling privileges, destroying inventory in our fulfilment centres without reimbursement, returning inventory, and terminating the business relationship. The sale of illegal or unsafe products can also lead to legal action, including civil and criminal penalties.

We are constantly innovating on behalf of our customers and working with regulators, third party experts, vendors, and sellers to improve the ways we detect and prevent illegal and unsafe products from reaching our marketplace. Amazon encourages you to report listings that violate Amazon's policies or applicable law by contacting us. We will investigate each report thoroughly and take appropriate action.
