Seller Compliance Action Guide

Verify Product Scope: Confirm whether the products you sell on the US/Canada marketplaces belong to the regulated categories and whether their power source is a lithium battery.
Check or Obtain Test Reports:

Old Reports: Check if they are within the 12-month validity period, match the corresponding category standards, and have the accompanying UN 38.3 battery documentation.
No Reports: Contact testing service providers immediately to send samples for testing. Leave an ample time buffer to avoid audit congestion during peak seasons.

Submit to an Amazon-Authorized Third Party: Complete the verification through a third-party certification service provider authorized by Amazon. Once approved, your products can be sold normally.
Complete US Marketplace Enhanced Compliance: Upload your COI insurance certificate in Seller Central.
Perfect the Product Detail Page: Ensure that information such as the model number, part number, manufacturer, and brand name is accurate and completely filled out.
