    UPDATE: New testing requirements for Clothing storage units effective March 12, 2026
    by Seller_l7Jtck9jxnEA0
    Amazon replied

    Hello Sellers,

    All Clothing storage units listings on Amazon.com are now required to undergo product testing or test report verification from an approved Testing, Inspection, and Certification (TIC) organization to ensure compliance with safety standards:

    Clothing storage units

    • 16 CFR part 1261 (Safety Standard for Clothing Storage) or
    • ASTM F2057-23 (Safety Standard for Clothing Storage Units)
    • 16 CFR Part 1303 (Lead in Paint and Surface Coatings Testing)
    • 40 CFR Part 770 (Formaldehyde Standards for Composite Wood Products)

    Clothing storage units intended for children

    • 16 CFR part 1261 (Safety Standard for Clothing Storage) or ASTM F2057-23 (Safety Standard for Clothing Storage Units)
    • 16 CFR Part 1303 (Lead in Paint and Surface Coatings Testing)
    • 16 CFR 1500.48 (Technical requirements for determining a sharp point in toys and other articles intended for use by children under 8 years of age)
    • 16 CFR 1500.49 (Technical requirements for determining a sharp metal or glass edge in toys and other articles intended for use by children under 8 years of age)
    • 40 CFR Part 770 (Formaldehyde Standards for Composite Wood Products) or Toxic Substances Control Act Title IV (Lead Exposure Reduction)
    • CPSIA (Lead and Phthalates)

    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.

    AMAZON HAS DESTROYED MY BUSINESS!!!
    by Seller_I1nrzWAOR1S2u

    In the past couple years due to this [Moderator Edit: removed inappropriate commentary] REESES LAW thousands of sellers like myself have been absolutely destroyed with non sense complaince and testing because some baby died from a battery. We used to thrive with a 100 orders a day selling watches and now maybe 1-2 sales a day until they take down the remaining listings for what we have. Then we try to pivot and sell over merchandise everything is gated with a lot of brands we used to sell. We as sellers made AMAZON what it is and now they are chewing all of us up and spitting us out. They are going direct with thousands of brands and slowly but surely will get rid of all 3rd party sellers for good. They care about the bottom and not small businesses what so ever!

    4 years on Amazon - Enough is enough
    by Seller_RQeJf89nRduHw
    Amazon replied

    CaseID : 20217335681

    Amazon, is this how you treat sellers who invest in your platform?

    After submitting an appeal, I didn’t receive clear guidance, a proper explanation, or real support—just another generic rejection email.

    Sellers invest time, money, inventory, and trust into this platform. We deserve more than silence and copy-paste responses.

    As a client, I have the right to understand what went wrong and how to fix it.

    I am still here, but experiences like this make sellers seriously question whether Amazon truly values us.

    After 4 years on amazon Enough is enough
    by Seller_RQeJf89nRduHw
    Amazon replied

    Case_ID: 20056734731-20038790791-20007838421

    When I submit an appeal for a product and it is rejected, I expect a professional response from Amazon, not a generic email.

    The investment I’ve made on this platform deserves proper consideration.

    As a valuable client, I have the right to understand what went wrong and to receive clear guidance and support—not resistance and silence from Amazon.

    I am still here, but this kind of treatment is making me seriously reconsider.

    LAST POST, GIVING UP - I spend years/money/lawyers to get my tradmark specifiacally for Amazon - I recieved my full certification and it is listing on the USTPO website - Yet I am flagged for abusive behavior
    by Seller_SMosRIOdC1dWg
    Amazon replied

    I am somehow tied to Goldshell and I have no idea why, even when I show my full trademark certificate, all my documentation. Which clearly shows I am the owner of ING Mining I attach the link on the USTPO site.

    It is what it is I guess.

    Thanks everyone

    ⚠️Urgent, Highrisk team - Critical Business Damage
    by Seller_vxyCZ8YZIFT0I
    Amazon replied

    It’s now Day 15 of our ASINs being inactive despite repeated assurances that

    "Our team approved the submitted ASIN.Please allow up to one business day for the product to appear on the website."

    from Abhishek P. \Mushtak S.\Nivesh P..\Naina A.. of Regulatory Intelligence, Safety & Compliance (RISC) since 20th July, in CASE: 18127262311, which threatens our survival.

    The impact is catastrophic:

    - ⚠️ over $10,000 sales loss

    - ⚠️ Eroded customer trust and marketplace ranking

    - ⚠️ Operational crisis for our small business

    We’re deeply disappointed that "resolved" status never materialized. Broken trust now compounds financial harm.

    Every hour of delay threatens our survival.

    🚨 Toy Sellers Alert: New Safety Compliance Process Coming This Fall 🧸
    by Seller_l7Jtck9jxnEA0
    Amazon replied

    Hello Sellers!

    We're reaching out regarding an important update to our compliance process for children's toys sold in Amazon's US and Canada stores.

    📢 What's Changing? Starting September 3, 2025, all children's toys will require annual testing or document verification from an approved Testing, Inspection, and Certification (TIC) organization.

    ⭐ Why This Matters: This enhancement helps ensure all children's toys meet applicable safety standards, regulations, and Amazon's policies, maintaining trust with our customers.

    📋 What This Means for Toy Sellers:

    * Within the next 30 days, you'll receive a notification identifying your affected ASINs, along with a date that you will have to provide the documents

    * Your Account Health dashboard will display impacted listings, compliance deadlines, and requirements

    ✅ Required Actions:

    1. Once notified, check your Account Health dashboard for affected ASINs

    2. Select an approved TIC provider through your dashboard

    3. Receive and accept testing/verification quote

    4. Submit product samples or existing documentation to TICs

    5. Await completion of verification from TICs

    🔎 Support Resources:

    * Join our informational webinar on September 10 -

    📢 Register here: Listing children's toys products in Amazon US and Canada stores - Registration closed and video no longer active

    * Visit our help page for verification process and list of TIC partners: Third-party testing, inspection, and certification services

    * Monitor your Account Health dashboard for updates

    * Review the Children’s Toy’s policy page

    🎯 Next Steps:

    * No immediate action is required until you receive your ASIN-specific notification

    * Begin reviewing your inventory to identify potentially affected products

    * Consider attending the upcoming webinar for detailed guidance

    We're here to support you through this transition. If you have any questions, please drop them below 👇 and we will work with the Toy Compliance team to get answers for you.

    We are looking forward to hearing from you to make this process as easy as possible.

    I Don't Bother Anymore - I Just Delete the Listings
    by Seller_fES06yRlGgMc4
    Amazon replied

    When items that I have been selling for years suddenly require compliance documents, I just delete them. It's just not worth the bother anymore.

    Still, I only just realized that it would be a good idea to keep a list of these items so I don't inadvertently relist them at some point in the future.

    Is there any way to go back and find a list of previous items that I deleted that had these compliance issues?
