Hello,
At the beginning, a supplier told me they would provide a COA and SDS for a blend of oils for my private label. Later, they sent me an SDS, but it appears to be a generic document, likely copy-pasted. When I pointed this out, the supplier said that all their Amazon clients use the same document and that it wouldn’t be an issue. They asked me to submit the SDS to Amazon, and if Amazon rejects it, they would make the necessary adjustments.
My question is: even if Amazon accepts the SDS now, is it possible they could reject it later upon verification? I’m concerned about being scammed by this supplier, sending money and then having Amazon discover that the COA and SDS are not certified by a laboratory.
Amazon may subsequently verify and reject generic or uncertified SDSs, which pose a risk of fraud. It is recommended to request suppliers to provide dedicated documentation certified by a laboratory before submission.

Honestly, I’d be careful here.
If the SDS looks generic or copy-pasted now, I probably wouldn’t feel comfortable just submitting it and “seeing if Amazon accepts it.”
Even if Amazon accepts something at first, that doesn’t always mean you’re safe later if the documentation gets reviewed again or questioned more deeply.
For me, the bigger issue is trust, if the supplier can’t give you product-specific, consistent documentation before payment, that’s usually not a great sign.
I’d want to see proper product-specific SDS/COA support, and ideally clear lab/document origin, before sending money or moving too far forward.
At minimum, I wouldn’t rely on “all our Amazon clients use the same file” as enough reassurance.
