Amazon is today the largest marketplace in the world, but selling on this platform requires compliance with a strict set of rules. These requirements, known as <\/span>Amazon Rules<\/b>, cover both product quality and the transport of goods to fulfillment centers. For importers, understanding and applying these rules is not optional: failure to comply can lead to delivery refusals, stock blockages, or even account suspension.<\/span><\/span><\/p>

At <\/span>DocShipper<\/b>, we support Amazon sellers daily in securing their supply chain, from supplier sourcing to freight forwarding to FBA warehouses.<\/span><\/span><\/p>

Amazon Rules: What Do They Mean?<\/b><\/span><\/h2>

Amazon\u2019s rules encompass three main areas: <\/span>product compliance<\/b>, <\/span>packaging and labeling<\/b>, and <\/span>logistics procedures<\/b> related to FBA warehouses. The objective is clear: ensure a uniform customer experience and avoid disruptions in the supply chain.<\/span><\/span><\/p>

Ignoring these rules means taking a direct risk with your sales. Importers must therefore structure their operations according to these constraints from the moment a supplier is selected.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Amazon updates its rules regularly. What is compliant today may not be tomorrow. Regulatory monitoring is therefore essential for any serious seller. For more information, visit the <\/span>Amazon FBA section<\/span><\/a> on the official website.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

The Impact of Amazon Rules on Sourcing<\/b><\/span><\/h2>

Finding a Compliant Supplier<\/b><\/span><\/h3>

The first critical step is to choose a supplier capable of meeting Amazon\u2019s standards. In practice, this means providing the required certifications (CE, FDA, RoHS, depending on the product), guaranteeing traceability of raw materials, and being able to produce compliant packaging at the factory. An audit or quality control inspection is essential. A supplier unable to provide these proofs represents a significant risk to your Amazon business.<\/span><\/p>

Packaging and Labeling from Production<\/b><\/span><\/h3>

Amazon imposes very specific standards for labeling (FNSKU codes, scannability) and packaging. Anticipating these requirements during production avoids costly reconditioning later. A single incorrectly labeled carton may lead to refusal at the warehouse, with additional return and storage fees.<\/span><\/p>

The Case of Private Label<\/b><\/span><\/h3>

For brands seeking to grow on Amazon, the <\/span>Brand Registry<\/b> requires even stricter compliance. Products must be legally protected and present specific packaging. Once again, structured sourcing is the only way to secure long-term sales.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
