Update: July updates to listing attribute usage and enumeration values

July 3rd, 2024 by GibranW_Amazon

Effective July 28, 2024, Amazon will update the attribute usage and enumeration values of numerous product types across marketplaces. These adjustments are critical to improve the listing experience, as we work to eliminate redundant attributes and only curate attributes and enumeration values that apply to the corresponding product type.

For a complete list of affected product types and changes, refer to July 2024 Listings Items API Product Type Changes.

Which marketplaces are affected?

This change applies to the following marketplaces:

  • Canada (CA)
  • United States (US)
  • Mexico (MX)
  • Brazil (BR)
  • Spain (ES)
  • United Kingdom (UK)
  • France (FR)
  • Netherlands (NL)
  • Germany (DE)
  • Italy (IT)
  • Sweden (SE)
  • Poland (PL)
  • Egypt (EG)
  • Turkey (TR)
  • Saudi Arabia (SA)
  • United Arab Emirates (UAE)
  • India (IN)
  • Singapore (SG)
  • Japan (JP)
  • Australia (AU)

Who is affected?

Both private and public developers using the Listings Items API v2021-08-01 and JSON_LISTINGS_FEED feed type to create and edit products with offers are affected by this change. Product-only listings, XSD feed uploads, and XML feed uploads are not affected by this change.

What action is required?

These changes will take effect when you create or edit listings for products with offers. This change requires you to provide values for the newly added attributes with required usage. For attributes with optional usage, you can choose to provide values. You can choose to use an enumeration from the new list in the dropdown values for attributes if the new enumeration is more relevant to the product you are selling.
