Frustration free packaging
There's an ASIN I list on, however it has 2 packaging options (regular & FFP). It does allow me to list on the FFP version, but do I need to first get any sort of approval before packaging the product and sending it into FBA? And if the item is shipped in the product packaging, does this qualify as FFP if it's simply a small box that is taped shut?

Good Evening @Seller_2hLsJBEtCZOlj, I just wanted to check in with you regarding your post and provide you with our Amazon Frustration-Free Packaging help page that discusses the FFP process.
To answer your questions from above:
For Frustration-Free Packaging (FFP) certification, the packaging must be made of 100% curbside recyclable materials per applicable laws in the region of sale. FFP must be easy to open and all content removable by the customer within 120 seconds with minimal use of scissors or box cutter. FFP must not contain blister packs, plastic inserts, packaging peanuts, shredded paper, or welded clam shells. A package certified for FFP is automatically considered Ships in Product Packaging (formerly known as Ships in Own Container or SIOC) certified.
In 2024, the Ships in Product Packaging program will be available to opt-into for all sellers who use Fulfillment by Amazon. This program allows Amazon to work with sellers to help redesign their packaging to enable their products to ship in their own branded product packaging without any Amazon-added delivery packaging. Once the Ships in Product Packaging program is launched for all sellers who use FBA, the dashboard in the Sustainability Solutions Hub will include Ships in Product Packaging information, sharing data such as estimated package weight avoided for certified products and the packaging weight avoidance opportunity for products not yet certified.
Please let us know if you have any additional questions regarding the information we have provided or you may contact Selling Partner Support at anytime. Thanks for reaching out to us on the Seller Forums! 😊 Have a great rest of the week. Sincerely, Cooper_Amazon
