Detailed explanation of Amazon Japan and Europe battery product sales policies
Amazon has strict policy requirements for the sale of battery products in different regions. On Amazon Japan and Europe, the individual sale of specific models of cylindrical lithium-ion batteries, including 18650, 14500, 16340, 20700, 26650 and 21700 batteries, is strictly restricted and cannot be appealed.
Japan station battery sales policy
On Amazon Japan, sellers are only allowed to sell products that come with batteries, but the number of batteries included must not exceed the minimum number required to power the product. Products containing additional or spare cylindrical lithium-ion batteries are prohibited from sale. If a seller believes that their ASIN has been removed from the shelves in error, they must contact their seller support team to appeal.
For products powered by restricted batteries, such as flashlights that must use two restricted batteries, they can only be sold if the number of batteries included with the flashlight is no less than the necessary number and the batteries are not installed inside the flashlight. . Not only that, sellers must provide product instructions in Japanese to comply with policy requirements.
At the same time, any products using self-assembly restricted battery packs that fail to seal and wrap the batteries to prevent disassembly are also prohibited from sale. Products may be sold only if the product has the same or fewer batteries than necessary to power the product and if the packaging includes a protective circuit.
European station battery sales policy
Similar to the Japanese site, Amazon’s European site also prohibits the separate sale of lithium-ion batteries such as 18650 and other models, and does not accept any complaints. Sellers need to pay attention to whether the products they sell contain restricted batteries, and these products must comply with local laws and regulations and applicable Amazon policies before they can be sold. If you choose a product that involves the above battery limitations, you need to consider it carefully and check the Amazon page regularly for the latest information, as this policy is frequently updated.
In addition, Germany has particularly strict policies on battery sales. Sellers not only need to ensure product compliance, but also must register and recycle them in accordance with the requirements of the Battery Law.
In summary, Amazon’s battery product sales policy aims to ensure sales compliance and protect consumer safety. Sellers must always pay attention to changes in relevant policies to avoid unnecessary losses.
