Product compliance policy
Is product compliance important?
Customer safety is paramount to Amazon. Our goal is to ensure that customers can buy relevant products with confidence from sellers without worrying about the safety, quality, or reliability of the products. As a seller, it's important to understand Amazon's guidelines on restricted products, dangerous goods shipping and storage, and product safety and compliance. This helps improve your chances of becoming a successful seller on Amazon, and helps you avoid selling restrictions due to non-compliant products.
