On April 20, Amazon issued an announcement saying that Amazon's US station will update the policy for limited shipping of dangerous goods. The content of the announcement is as follows:
As of April 25, 2022, dangerous goods can no longer be shipped to U.S. destinations via FBA, even in limited quantities.
That said, starting April 25, 2022, sellers must use a third-party shipper to ship dangerous goods to destinations in the United States.
What are Dangerous Goods? Dangerous goods (also known as hazardous substances, abbreviated as Hazmat) are those that contain flammable, sealed, pressurized, corrosive or any other hazardous substances that, during storage, handling, or transportation, will cause harm to health, safety, property, or Substances or materials that present a risk to the environment.
Does this mean that only flammable and explosive toxic gases are dangerous goods?
In fact, the "dangerous goods" in Amazon's mouth is far more than that. Any goods that belong to or contain batteries, liquids, powders or paste-like items may be identified as "dangerous goods" by Amazon's backend machines.

Dangerous goods have always been a minefield that sellers can’t avoid, and product safety is also the focus of Amazon’s review. Amazon’s review of products is very strict when they are put into storage.
At present, sellers must standardize their transportation qualifications and avoid illegal transportation, otherwise they will be removed from the listing or severely banned.
