  • Permitted Listings: Include alcoholic beverages like beer and wine for individuals aged 16+, certain spirits for those aged 18+, chocolates with liquor under 1%, and various alcohol-related accessories and memorabilia.

  • Prohibited Listings: These include sweet alcoholic beverages under Germany’s “Alkopopsteuergesetzes,” devices for alcohol production or purification, and large-capacity distillation equipment.

  • Age Restrictions: Products over 0.5% alcohol content must be age-restricted on Amazon.de. Vendors can request adjustments to age restriction settings if discrepancies are found.
