Hi @Seller_x8Dqh3b8L8Vqi,
Looking at Amazon's FBA expiration policy, under the "Shelf-life requirements" section, they require:
"At the time of check-in at Amazon fulfillment center, all products must have a remaining shelf life that allows sufficient time for the product to be consumed in full, plus an additional 90 days."
This means your product with 118 days shelf life would need to allow for both the consumption time and the extra 90-day buffer period. Once the expiration date is reached, the help page mentions under "Inventory control" that "unsold inventory that passes its expiration date... is set to unsellable status."
One important thing to note - the help page warns that "Items that are past expiration at the time of arrival at Amazon fulfillment centers will be marked for disposal. Inventory subject to disposal cannot be returned to you."
Hope this helps explain how Amazon handles expiration dates!
