Note: Products that are radio frequency devices must have values for the FCC Radio Frequency Emission Compliance Attribute. For more information, including what is considered a radio frequency device, see the
Radio Frequency Devices Help page.
You can modify information for products and listings either one at a time using the Manage Inventory tool in your seller account, or through an inventory file upload that is listed below.
If you are not the only seller contributing information to a product detail page, you might find that some of your requested changes do not appear. For more information, see There is a mistake on a product detail page. How can I correct it?

Frequently asked questions
Where do I find FCC RF compliance information on a product?
An FCC ID is a unique identifier consisting of two elements:
-
A grantee code: The first portion of the FCC ID, is either a three or five character alphanumeric string assigned by the FCC permanently to a company for use in the identification of radio frequency equipment authorized under the FCC certification procedure.
-
An equipment product code: The second portion of the FCC ID that begins after the grantee code. The product code may include hyphens and/or dashes (-).
The FCC ID is often preceded by the phrase “FCC ID,” and may appear on a physical label on the product or an electronic label (e-label). If the product is too small for a physical label and does not use electronic labeling, then the FCC ID may appear in the user manual and either the product packaging or a removable label attached to the product.
Information regarding a Supplier’s Declaration of Conformity (SDoC) may be located on a product or product packaging, or in an included manual or other documentation. SDoC information is often, but not always, proceeded with a heading that refers to “FCC Compliance,” and often refers to part 15 of the FCC Rules.
I previously provided an FCC ID to have my product reinstated. Why do I have to do this again?
We are implementing these requirements in order to provide our customers with the best possible experience. FCC IDs may sometimes change, and we need to provide our customers with the most up to date compliance information. Therefore, even if you previously provided this information, it will still need to be added to the listing.
What if I do not believe my listed ASIN(s) is a radio frequency device?
If you think your product was incorrectly identified as a radio frequency device, refer to the Radio Frequency Devices Help page, and select the option indicating that your product is not capable of emitting radio frequency energy when listing your product.
How can I get additional information?
