How to Submit Your SDS/MSDS to Amazon US + Free Exemption Forms (Download)

This is your comprehensive guide to submitting Safety Data Sheets (SDS) for Amazon US (FBA) sellers. We've included the official guidance PDF and two English exemption forms (for MSDS exemption) for your convenience.

What is an SDS (Safety Data Sheet)? - Hazardous Materials (Hazmat): These are products that can pose risks during storage, handling, or shipping due to properties like flammability, pressurization, or corrosiveness. - An SDS is a document that informs Amazon about "what's in my product and whether it's hazardous." - Amazon uses this information to determine the appropriate storage, handling, and shipping methods for your product.

Your Responsibility as a Seller - While the manufacturer or supplier typically creates the SDS, if you're selling via FBA, you are responsible for submitting it through Seller Central. - Failing to submit a required SDS can result in your listings being blocked or issues with inbound shipments and delivery.

Product Categories That May Require an SDS Common examples include detergents, paints, personal care items, automotive products, adhesives, and pesticides – essentially, any product containing liquids, chemicals, or potentially hazardous substances. If you're unsure, always confirm with your manufacturer or supplier.

How to Submit Your SDS 1. Navigate to the 'Manage Dangerous Goods Classification' page in Seller Central to upload your documents and track their status. 2. Submission Requirements: - The SDS must have been created or revised within the last five years. - It must include all 16 GHS-compliant sections in the correct order, including GHS/CLP hazard information. - The product name, label, manufacturer, and brand name must match what's listed on your product detail page. - Be aware that missing sections, incorrect order, or conflicting information can lead to rejection. - If you sell in multiple countries, you must submit an SDS in the local language for each country. - Upload a separate SDS file for each ASIN that requires one. For bundles or kits, submit an SDS for each individual chemical product included.

Exemptions (Submit an Exemption Form Instead of an SDS) - For products that are batteries, battery-operated, or contain no chemical substances, you can upload an exemption form using the template provided on the "Manage Dangerous Goods Classification" page. - Please note that certificates or test reports are not accepted as substitutes for an SDS.
