Error 5564 — Prep or handling requirements not met

What this means

Amazon flagged the listing because prep/handling requirements (e.g., poly-bagged, suffocation warning, fragile labeling) weren't declared in the feed.

Why this happens

FBA and certain category items require explicit prep/handling declarations. Without them, fulfillment can be blocked or delayed.

How to fix it

  1. Review prep requirements for the category in Amazon's prep guidelines.
  2. Add fulfillment_center_id, prep_type, and prep_owner attributes as needed.
  3. Hazmat items need additional safety_data_sheet attributes.
  4. Resubmit.
