Have you been wondering about Safety Data Sheets (SDS) that are required to be submitted for your product? The below guide will help with showing why an SDS is needed, the required information, and how to submit it to the Dangerous Goods team.

A Safety Data Sheet (SDS) is a detailed document prepared by the manufacturer or importer of a chemical. It includes information on the properties, hazards, and safety precautions for handling, storing, and transporting the chemical. SDSs are mandatory for all chemical-based products sold on the store and can be obtained from the manufacturer or supplier. Selling hazardous products without a Safety Data Sheet (SDS) can pose serious risks.

Safety Data Sheets enable HAQM to do the following:

  1. Determine if products are regulated as hazardous goods.
  2. Classify products as hazardous, prohibited hazardous, or non-hazardous.
  3. Determine the correct handling and disposal measures for spills or leaks.
  4. Display the correct information on the product detail page.
  5. Confirm products as non-dangerous goods.

Note: If your listing is a bundle or a kit with multiple chemical-based products, you must provide an SDS for each product within the bundle or kit.

Required Information:

  • Timeframe: The SDS must be created or updated within the last 5 years.
  • Hazard Identification: The SDS must include new GHS/CLP hazard identification information listed on this page.
  • Matching Product Details: The product name and manufacturer/brand name on the SDS must exactly match the listing details.
  • Completeness: The SDS must include all 16 standard sections, listed on this page in the proper order.

How to submit your SDS:

1. Gather the required SDS information: Ensure the required information above is gathered.

2. Go to the Manage dangerous goods classification page in Seller Central: Click the “Upload document” button to start the SDS submission process.

3. Specify the ASIN, marketplace, and document language: This helps the Dangerous Goods team review the SDS for the correct product.

4. Choose the SDS file to upload: The file must be 20 MB or less and in a valid format like .docx, .pdf, or .jpg.

5. Click “Upload file”: A banner will confirm the successful upload. You can then close the window or upload more documents if needed.

The Dangerous Goods team will review your SDS within 2 business days (Monday to Friday, excluding public holidays).

Note: To check on the classification status of your ASIN, you can use the look up an ASIN tool at any time.

If you have submitted an SDS to the Dangerous Goods team and have any follow up questions, please start a new discussion thread in the “Product Safety and Compliance” category, share your Compliance case ID, and we would be happy to take a look at your request.

What has your experience been with submitting an SDS? Do you have any quick tips or thoughts to give about the process of filling out an SDS? Let us know in the comments below.

Regards,

- Manny

Hi everyone,

I’m reaching out to see if someone from the HAQM team or another seller with experience in restricted product removals can help us out.

Our product, Power Tape, was recently removed for allegedly violating HAQM’s restricted products policy on “mouth tape.” However, this is a first aid tape and has never been marketed or positioned for any use related to mouth taping.

Here are the key points:

The listing title, bullet points, and description all clearly state that this is a first aid tape intended solely for securing dressings and bandages.

The product images reinforce this use, with disclaimers making it clear that this is not a mouth tape.

The listing has never included “mouth tape” as a keyword or backend search term.

Our advertising campaigns have always been targeted exclusively at customers searching for first aid and medical tape.

Seller Support (CASE 17597714561) claims the listing was modified to reflect mouth tape use, but we have not made any such changes and have a consistent version history that supports our claim.

This seems to be a false flag — possibly by an automated system — and we’re hoping someone from HAQM can take a closer look and help us get this resolved.

ASIN: B0DTFS3Y6L

Thank you in advance for any help or guidance you can provide.

RE:[CASE 17252284671] US - Restricted Products - Appeal - ASIN: B0DGFG7G52

One of my products was subject to restriction due to compliancy issues regarding health claims. All the actions requested of HAQM were made to remove any claims etc. This product was restricted, subject to a removal/disposal order. Once I created the removal order HAQM then emails me stating my product is eligable to be reinstated. Great! After requesting my stock be replenished from the "unfufillable" stock I receive another email stating that actually no, the ASIN will ot be reinstated. Completely appalled with the inconsistency and lack of transparency with HAQM's procedures. Has anyone else experienced anything similar?

Dear HAQM Support Team,

I hope this message finds you well. Due to being wrongly labeled as a Water Beads toy, the product was removed from shelves and classified as a defective item. However, after the appeal was successful, the link was restored and made available for sale again. But for my product, some of the inventory is still classified as a defective item and has not been resumed for sale!!

case ID: 17218838661, ASIN: B0D4F932TZ

We understand that thorough reviews are necessary to ensure product safety and compliance. However, Due to the system's misjudgment, our inventory has turned into defective items. Since the review has been passed, why are there still so many items in the inventory that have not been restored to saleable status?the prolonged review process is significantly impacting our ability to list and sell our product, especially during this critical sales period.

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.

Best regards

ToS question - Baggie with QR codes
by Seller_iRko20YxJsa4b
HAQM replied

We want to use baggies to send to FBA.

Products -> recloseable baggies with barcode or FNSKU -> cartons. Cartons get shipped to FBA.

question:

Can we have QR codes on the baggie?

- QR code for writing reviews. The destination link of the QR will not ask customers to write 5 star reviews. No incentives will be offered.

Can someone help?

CPC review is too slow

Dear HAQM Team,

We currently have three products undergoing CPC reviews, with the following case IDs and submission dates:

Case ID: 17564133441– Filed Date: April 10, 2025 at 08:24:16 PM GMT+8

Case ID: 17564696901– Submitted on April 10, 2025 at 08:24:16 PM GMT+8

We understand that compliance checks are thorough and appreciate the importance of ensuring product safety and adherence to all relevant regulations. However, we would greatly appreciate any updates on the progress of our case or an estimated timeline for completion, as this delay is impacting our product availability and business operations.

Because our products are seasonal products with only a 2-month sales cycle, our promotion cycle is very tight, so please review it for us as soon as possible

Please let us know if any additional information or documentation is needed from our side to expedite the process.

Thank you for your support and attention to this matter. We look forward to your response.

Best regards

Hi everyone,

We’re reaching out to see if anyone has faced a similar issue or has any insight that could help us.

Case ID: 17580444811

Our listing was recently removed by HAQM on the grounds that our product is classified as a medical device for professional use. They requested documentation to verify the product’s FDA compliance.

We provided everything HAQM asked for, including:

✔️A valid FDA 510(k) number that does cover this product

✔️Clear photos of every side of the packaging

✔️Product manual

✔️Screenshot and link to the FDA 510(k) record

✔️Original invoice from the manufacturer

Despite this, HAQM keeps sending the same templated response saying:

> “The FDA 510(k) provided does not cover this product. The seller’s product may not be unrestricted. Product images uploaded on the detail page do not match with the FDA 510k.”

We’ve verified the 510(k) number is correct, matches the product, and is publicly listed on the FDA site. Yet every appeal gets the same copy-paste rejection.

We’re extremely frustrated and stuck. Has anyone successfully appealed a similar case? Is there a way to escalate beyond seller support or get a real human review?

Any help or direction would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

I really hope that HAQM can give me some clear guidance and insights as soon as possible.

Because my product has been shown as unavailable for sale for a long time, this has had a huge impact on my inventory and account.

My listing was deactivated. HAQM marked it as a medical device for professional use. 510(k) and other supporting documents are required to prove that this product is allowed to be sold on HAQM.

Case id 17612890941

Here is the information we provided.

(1) Photos of the 6-sided image of the product packaging

(2) Product manual

(3) 510(k) Number issued by the FDA for this product

(4) Agency Registration Number

(5) Device Name shown by the FDA

(6) Purchase invoice

Although we tried our best to explain that our product is not a medical device for professional use, we still received a rejection from HAQM.

The reason for the rejection was "the FDA 510(k) provided does not cover this product"

This is very sad for me. I tried to ask the review team what information is wrong? We can explain and verify, but the review team still rejected me for the same reason.

I am really sad because this is really important to me.

Because of the problem of unsalable products, I have too much unsalable inventory and my account has also received relevant performance.

I really don’t know which information is missing or incorrect. I feel that I am in trouble.

Any suggestions, contact information or upgrade channels will be greatly appreciated.

I can only ask for help and hope to solve my problem. Thank you very much!

Hello, I am hoping HAQM can give me some guidance or insight.

Our listing was recently deactivated and HAQM marked it as a medical device for professional use only, which requires a valid 510(k) and other supporting documentation.

case id:17602810381

We submitted

(1) Product packaging 6-sided photos

(2) Product instruction manual

(3) FDA 510(k) number for the product

(4) FDA facility registration number

(5) Device name as shown on the FDA 510(k) number

(6) Purchase invoice to ensure the device was purchased from the manufacturer

Our information was very complete, but despite submitting all the required documentation, we received a rejection from HAQM:

“The FDA 510(k) provided does not cover this product”

We double-checked the FDA database and the 510(k) information matches the product exactly.

It feels like we are stuck in a rut and no one is clearly explaining what information is missing or incorrect.

Any suggestions, contact information, or escalation paths would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance for your help!
