To get ungated in Health & Household on Amazon, check which products need approval for your account, buy them from a wholesale supplier, and submit an invoice through Apply to Sell. Many Health & Household products can be listed without approval, but some subcategories and brands are stricter than others.
Quick answer: Search each product in Seller Central. For any that say “Apply to sell,” buy from a manufacturer or distributor, check that the invoice matches your Seller Central details, and submit it. Amazon makes the final decision.
What Health & Household Covers
Health & Household is a broad category. It includes everyday items such as household supplies and cleaning products, as well as health care products, vitamins and supplements, and personal care items. Because it is so broad, approval rules vary within it.
Why Some Subcategories Are Stricter
Products that people ingest or use for health reasons get more scrutiny than paper towels or cleaning sprays. Expect stricter checks on:
- Dietary supplements, which have their own Amazon policies and may need extra documents
- Over-the-counter health products and medical devices
- Products with safety concerns, such as some household chemicals
Simple household goods are often easier, but check every product: brand and product restrictions apply in every subcategory.
Step 1: Check Each Product
Search every product on your list in Seller Central (Catalog > Add Products). Note which ones say “Apply to sell” and which you can list now.
Step 2: Buy From a Wholesale Supplier
Buy the gated products from a manufacturer or distributor. Ordering from a supplier that carries the whole category lets you combine products you can already list with the ones you need approval for. Browse our health & household wholesale range.
Step 3: Submit Your Invoice
Make sure the invoice matches your Seller Central name and address, shows the supplier’s details and lists the products and quantities. See Amazon invoice requirements for ungating, then apply through the “Apply to sell” button.
Supplements: Read the Extra Rules
If you plan to sell dietary supplements, read Amazon’s supplement policy in Seller Central before you buy. Amazon may ask for testing or other documents in addition to invoices, and requirements change. Ask your supplier what documentation is available for each product.
