🚨 Get ready for stringent compliance on the Dietary Supplements category 🚨

One warning by the FDA was enough for Amazon to take compliance more seriously.

New safety standards for dietary supplements sold on Amazon US push sellers to do more research and testing on their products and ensure they work with verified organizations. Thus, there is no margin of error.

This is critical information for all sellers in this category. Here's the breakdown:

• Third-Party Testing Requirement: All dietary supplements must be verified through a third-party Testing, Inspection, and Certification (TIC) organization. This ensures that the products meet Amazon's safety and labeling standards.

• Action Required: Navigate to your Manage Your Compliance dashboard to initiate testing for each affected product. You'll then be able to work directly with the chosen TIC organization to complete the process. Don't delay! Listings may be removed if non-compliant by the specified due date.

• Compliance Verification: Once your product passes testing and Amazon directly confirms with the organization that your compliance is in check, it will be eligible for sale on Amazon.

Failing to comply with these new regulations could result in product removal from Amazon, and appealing the removal is a lengthy process. Last time, it took around two and a half months and a half to start selling again because the manual review process was tedious.

These measures will increase the cost of launching products in the category, making the barrier to entry higher.

Spread the work with fellow sellers of dietary supplements to ensure everyone is informed about these essential changes!
