New Dangerous Goods Compliance Questions Required When Creating or Editing Listings in Four Categories (October 26, 2026)
Effective: October 26, 2026
Sellers who create or edit listings for refrigerant appliances, shock absorbers and suspension lift supports, markers and writing instruments, or pool and spa water treatment products.
Starting October 26, 2026, sellers who create new listings or edit existing ones in four product groups will have to answer new compliance questions that help Amazon identify dangerous goods. The groups are refrigerant appliances (refrigerators, freezers, air conditioners and similar), shock absorbers and suspension lift supports, markers and writing instruments, and pool and spa water treatment products. Amazon says the questions are meant to enable more ship methods and reduce unnecessary disposal costs and fees, and that accurate, complete answers help listings go live without delays.
Key Points
- From October 26, 2026, new compliance questions appear when you create a new listing or edit an existing listing in select categories
- Refrigerators, air conditioners, freezers and similar products: questions confirm refrigerant gas properties, such as whether the unit is pre-charged, the refrigerant type and code, and the refrigerant amount
- Shock absorbers and suspension lift supports: questions cover the shock-absorbing mechanism
- Markers and writing instruments: questions cover ink properties
- Pool and spa water treatment products: questions cover chemical composition and packaging
- Amazon says the goal is to identify dangerous goods, enable more ship methods, and reduce unnecessary disposal costs and fees
What You Should Do Now
- 1Identify your ASINs in the four affected product groups before you next edit them
- 2Collect the technical data you'll need from manufacturers, such as refrigerant type, code and charge amount, ink base, shock-absorbing material, and chemical composition and packaging
- 3Review the "Dangerous goods (hazmat) required information and documentation" help page in Seller Central for the full question set
- 4Answer the questions accurately and completely when they appear, so listing updates aren't delayed
