What is a Clothing Storage Unit?

A Clothing storage unit is furniture with drawers (including fabric) and/or hinged doors intended for the storage of clothing, and meets all of the following criteria:

• Height of at least 27 inches
• Mass of at least 30 pounds
• Enclosed storage volume of at least 3.2 cubic feet
• Examples include chests, chests of drawers, drawer chests, armoires, chifforobes, bureaus, door chests, and dressers.
• This policy includes fabric clothing storage units, which were previously excluded.

Things to keep in mind:

• You WILL receive a notice if you have ASINs affected by this policy with instructions by the end of March (you may or may not have received notification already)
• You can only submit a TRF after you receive a document request email notification from Amazon in Account Health.
• All notified ASINs must undergo this verification process, regardless of prior documentation submission or active listing status.
• You can select a provider from the list or request quotes from one or more TIC service providers to compare prices, services, and timelines.
• This policy applies to both new listings and previously approved ASINs. For more information about our policy, go to the Clothing storage units help page.
