Error 8001 — Required attribute missing or invalid

What this means

A required attribute for the product type is missing or contains a value Amazon can't validate. Listing rejected.

Why this happens

Common with category-specific feeds — attributes like 'item_dimensions', 'package_dimensions', 'wattage', or 'capacity' may be required for some categories but missing from generic feeds.

How to fix it

  1. Check the processing report for the specific attribute name.
  2. Look up the category's required attributes in Category Listings Reports.
  3. Populate with valid values matching the expected format.
  4. Resubmit.
