Restricted Products

As a seller or advertiser on the Amazon platform, it is your responsibility to comply with all laws and regulations and with Amazon policies.

We provide this material for informational purposes only and it is not intended as legal advice. We encourage you to consult with your legal counsel if you have questions about the laws and regulations concerning your products.

You should carefully review the "Examples of Permitted and Prohibited Listings" sections in each category shown on the right before listing a product. Also, certain categories require you to obtain pre-approval from Amazon before listing in those categories. If you are listing products that are prohibited in certain U.S. jurisdictions, you must inform customers in the listing conditions of such shipping restrictions; such products are not eligible for FBA. In addition, there are restrictions on the import and export of many products. If you wish to list items for international purchase, you are responsible for conducting proper research to ensure that the items listed comply with all laws and regulations.

Consequences for Violations

Violations of Amazon's policy on listing prohibited items may result in actions, such as:

• Cancellation of listing
• Limits on listing privileges
• Suspension of listing privileges
• Removal of your selling privileges

Amazon reserves the right to make judgments in its sole discretion about whether or not a listing is appropriate.
