How to find out whether an Amazon FBA product is restricted or if a category is gated. Amazon FBA seller restrictions apply to many categories and products, it is important to research what products you can sell on Amazon FBA before spending lots of money on inventory.
There are four things to be aware of when looking into which products you can sell on Amazon.
1) Gated Categories - [ Ссылка ]
There are many Amazon categories that don't require approval, however, some Amazon categories are gated and you need get ungated to be able to sell in these categories. I am often asked how to get ungated on Amazon - there are different requirements for ungating each category so I would recommend researching each category individually, sometimes it can be as easy as providing some wholesale invoices.
2) Prohibited Amazon Products - [ Ссылка ]
Some items are restricted on Amazon FBA regardless of what documentation you are able to provide - it is vital that as part of your product research you avoid choosing any restricted items to sell on Amazon.
3) Products Requiring Additional Approval - [ Ссылка ]
Although there are many types of restrictions and limitations, many of these products you can still sell on Amazon if you can pass the additional approval process.
4) Danger Goods Lookup / Amazon Hazmat Review - [ Ссылка ]
If Amazon classes a product as dangerous goods then you may be required to pass a Hazmat review, this usually requires sending Amazon additional documentation such as an SDS sheet and exemption sheet that you send to Amazon.
Even with the right paperwork, it can take weeks to get approval to sell some products.
My new favourite way of checking the limitations on what products you can sell is by using Amazon’s “View selling application” page to lookup existing products - this allows you to look at all existing Amazon products to see what limitations are in place to give you an idea of what you might face if you sell the same or similar product.
To find this page go to "Catalogue" - "View selling applications", you will see the message "To request approval to sell products with listing limitations, you need to start by running a search at the top of the page.", however, just ignore this and use the search box to look up other products.
