Manufacturing my own product/compliance & required documentation
I have a product I've formulated myself that consists of just two single plant-based ingredients. There are two existing sellers already selling a similar product. It would be considered a health & wellness product but not a supplement. Being that the production is so simple I wanted to handle this myself at least in the early stages because it will obviously significantly cut down on costs. However I haven't been able to definitively figure out whether this as at all possible or not. A couple posts I found people mentioned that they created a separate business so that they could bill themselves for the invoices, but I don't know whether there will be additional documentation required as far as compliance beyond a lab test report. And Seller Central has proved to be pretty much useless in this regard. It seems like it would be a huge waste of time and money to get my product ready to be sold just to discover that something wasn't done right as far as compliance.

Greetings @Seller_RkxWuCD1g27US,
In general Amazon will request labs and test reports based on the Laws and Regulations associated with a given product. If you want guidance on what your specific product requires you may want to reach out to a compliance expert to go over your products to ensure your products and product descriptions and other detail page content are aligned with the given laws and regulations. In general Seller Support will not be able to provide confirmation that a given product is or is not compliant.
If you run into any trouble getting your product approved I can assist with your appeal, however you will need to list the product and work with Seller Support before we will be able to investigate further. Thank you for your understanding.
