Before listing a product on amazon sellers should carefully do an analysis of the “Examples of Permitted and Prohibited Listings” sections in each Restricted Product category. If someone is going to sell a Restricted Product, amazon will immediately suspend or terminate the selling rights and destroy inventory in our fulfilment centres without reimbursement. In addition, if amazon determines that a seller’s account has been used to involve in illegal activity, settlements and payments may be withheld or lost. The sale of illegal or unsafe products on amazon can also lead to legal action, including civil and criminal consequences.

Hazardous Materials:

Some products are banned for obvious reasons like endangered animals, explosive devices, or human remains.

Hazardous materials that are shipped to Amazon fulfilment centres may be subject to disposal without reimbursement, even if they have not been previously identified by Amazon as hazardous materials.
