Amazon Animal Product Compliance | Simply explained

Animal Product Compliance

The guidelines for animal product compliance on Amazon Vendor Central provide a framework for vendors to ensure their listings meet legal and ethical standards.

  • Permitted Listings: Include non-endangered animals prepared as food, electronic rat traps, DIY pet microchip kits, and Kopi Luwak coffee from free-living animals.

  • Prohibited Listings: Include live animals (with specific exceptions), cockfighting tools, certain electronic collars, glue traps for vertebrates, naphthalene mothballs, products containing parts of endangered species, certain fur products, ivory, and unauthorized animal feed.

Vendors must comply with all relevant laws, such as the Animal Welfare Act and European regulations, to prevent the sale of inappropriate products.
