When listing an item to FBA, you are required to provide dangerous goods information. You have the ability to enter this information while listing in InventoryLab!
Note: The requirement is on an MSKU basis, meaning, even if you’ve already provided dangerous goods information on an ASIN before, you will need to do so again if you create a new MSKU for the item. Additionally, we will not ask you to provide this information on merchant-fulfilled items as this is an FBA-only requirement.
Providing Dangerous Goods Information
To provide dangerous goods information, take the following steps:
Create a new FBA batch or open an existing one.
Search for your product.
When adding it to the batch, you'll see the option to provide dangerous goods information. Here, you will be asked if your item is regulated or contains a battery.
Select Yes in the dropdown menu under Regulated or Battery.
Select No if your items are not classified as dangerous goods.
Regulated
After selecting Yes in the dropdown menu for Regulated, you will be prompted to enter additional information.

GHS - enter Product Weight (kilograms), Product Volume (milliliters), Safety Data Sheet (SDS) URL, GHS Pictograms (compressed gas, explosive, health hazard, flammable, toxic, corrosive, oxidizing, environmentally damaging, irritant, or no pictogram, text only)
Other - enter Product Weight (kilograms) and Product Volume (milliliters)

After selecting Yes in the dropdown menu for Battery, you will be prompted to enter the Battery Packaging.

Note: Please keep in mind that it is each Seller’s responsibility to provide the correct information for their products.
