Update: Support for GPSR compliance in Listings Items API and JSON Listings Feeds

You can update attribute submissions and document uploads through Listings Items API v2021-08-01 or the JSON_LISTINGS_FEED feed type to support selling partners with General Product Safety Regulations (GPSR) compliance. Sellers can refer to their Account Health page for a list of brands and offers that must be compliant with Amazon's GPSR policy.

Selling partners who sell non-food products in EU-based stores must prove their GPSR compliance by December 13, 2024.

Which marketplaces are affected?

This change applies to the following marketplaces:

• Spain
• France
• Belgium
• Netherlands
• Germany
• Italy
• Sweden
• Poland

Who is affected?

Private and public developers who use the Listings Items API v2021-08-01, JSON_LISTINGS_FEED feed type, or legacy XML/flat file feed types to create and edit products with offers are affected by this change.

What action is required?

1. Update your systems to capture and submit new GPSR-related attributes before the deadline. This ensures that sellers using your tools can comply with GPSR requirements and continue selling in EU marketplaces.

2. Review the code changes needed below.

3. Ensure selling partners input their manufacturer and EU Responsible Person's contact information into Seller/Vendor Central before updating GPSR attributes.

4. Update your integration to include new GPSR attributes in listings submissions.

5. Test your updated integration thoroughly.

6. Ensure selling partners provide an email identifier for listings submissions.

7. Communicate these changes to your users and provide guidance on updating their product information.

For Listings Items API v2021-08-01 or JSON_LISTINGS_FEED:

Add these attributes to listings submissions:

• gpsr_manufacturer_reference.gpsr_manufacturer_email_address: Manufacturer's email (ASIN level)
• dsa_responsible_party_address: Responsible party's email (SKU level)
• gpsr_safety_attestation: Boolean. True if product is exempt from safety attestation
• compliance_media: Compliance document information
  • content_type: Valid types include patient_fact_sheet, provider_fact_sheet, installation_manual, instructions_for_use, user_guide, user_manual, safety_information
  • content_language: Language code (e.g., 'de_DE')
  • source_location: Document URL (not Google Drive or Dropbox)

Use the getDefinitionsProductType operation to retrieve JSON schemas with these attributes for GPSR-relevant categories.

For legacy XML feeds:

• Direct selling partners to upload GPSR documents via Seller/Vendor Central.
• Submit partial updates only. Full programmatic updates via legacy XML Feed types will override GPSR information uploaded by selling partners.

For bulk uploads in Seller or Vendor Central:

• For bulk uploads of warning and safety information or safety attestations, use an inventory file template in Seller/Vendor Central.
