I’ve heard there has been a significant development regarding Amazon’s gated product categories. I read on LinkedIn that Amazon is now offering services to help get products ungated directly through them. They provide a list of approved vendors, similar to the IP Accelerator, which you can use to ungate restricted products.
If true, this would be a major breakthrough, as it would guarantee that any gated product can be ungated in any country. They claim to have already seen this in both European and U.S. accounts.
Does anyone have any confirmed information if this works?
It’s not like that, bro. Through this compliance reference, you can only check the documentation requirements for a particular category or ASIN, and there you can find service providers who can assist you with compliance.
No one can offer ungating services - not Amazon, nor the service providers listed there. If this were allowed, the sale of counterfeit products would likely skyrocket.
The compliance reference tool is not for ungating. It’s for checking if categories are restricted and what compliance requirements and documents are needed.
So, if you use the tool and reference children’s toys; the tool will tell you what documents are needed and give you a list of approved labs to get a compliance safety sheet.
You can use Amazon to ungate but you need to buy 50 units.
Yeah, but many of the sellers don’t know about this.
