Hello everyone,
I want to change my Amazon product category (Product Type/Item Type) because my current category is incorrect.
Has anyone successfully done this before? If there is any option, process, or someone experienced who can help, please kindly contact me.
Thank you!
You are right, the category can sometimes be corrected even after your FBA shipment has already been sent, because the shipment itself and the ASIN’s catalog classification are separate issues. Amazon allows sellers to request changes to a product’s category/browse path, including through Manage All Inventory or a category-specific inventory file.
However, there is an important distinction between changing the browse node and changing the actual Product Type. Browse-node corrections are generally much easier; changing the Product Type can be considerably more difficult because Amazon may treat it as a defining catalog attribute. If you cannot change it through Edit Listing or an inventory file, open a Catalog Support case and provide the ASIN, current classification, correct classification, and evidence showing why the existing Product Type is incorrect.
Since your inventory is already travelling to FBA, I would not cancel or interfere with the shipment solely because of the category issue. Concentrate on correcting the catalog record as quickly as possible, particularly if the incorrect category could result in restrictions or compliance requirements once the inventory is received.
