What can stop a new product at launch?
- Missing compliance documents: a GCC, CPC or test report Amazon asks for. See product compliance documents.
- Restricted products or claims: wording like antibacterial or treats on the listing or packaging. See restricted products removals.
- Approval required: some categories and products need Amazon's approval before you can list them.
- Barcodes: UPCs that don't match GS1's records for your brand.
- Dangerous goods review: products with batteries, liquids or aerosols may need safety data sheets before FBA accepts them.
- FBA prep and labeling: mistakes that cause inbound problems or customer complaints.
