New GPSR requirements for Amazon sellers will come into effect on Dec. 13, 2024, which will impact selling standards for retailers on Amazon’s European markets.
The new General Product Safety Regulation (GPSR) comes with penalties for those who don’t comply with it.
Amazon sellers should note the updated standards and make sure their Amazon listings are updated accordingly to meet these new EU product safety requirements.
To comply with the new GPSR requirements for Amazon sellers, merchants will need to ensure they present and identify their products correctly.
Amazon requires that merchants comply with these regulations in order to list and sell on Amazon’s European markets.
Amazon also offers its own discount storefront, Amazon Haul, which enables thriftier shoppers to purchase items under $20, with delivery completed in 1-2 weeks and a 15-day return window.
Amazon sellers can use the Inventory Data Quality (IDQ) score as a tool to help with Amazon GPSR compliance.
According to credible sources, Amazon sellers require an IDQ score of 90 or above to be included in the search algorithm.
Amazon sellers should get an IDQ report to identify incomplete or incorrect product details and tweak their listings to comply with Amazon EU product safety regulations and improve conversion.
To comply with the GPSR requirements for Amazon sellers in the long run, merchants should update their product documentation, maintain Amazon GPSR compliance, and use Brand Registry to enforce product compliance.
