Error 8023 — Hazmat documentation required

What this means

Amazon requires hazardous-materials documentation (Safety Data Sheet, exemption letter) before this product can ship through FBA.

Why this happens

Lithium batteries, aerosols, flammables, and certain liquids trigger hazmat review. Without an SDS or exemption, FBA fulfillment is blocked.

How to fix it

  1. Obtain the manufacturer's Safety Data Sheet (SDS) or hazmat exemption letter.
  2. Upload via Seller Central → Inventory → Hazmat Review.
  3. Wait 3–5 business days for review.
  4. MFN listings (merchant-fulfilled) may not need this — switch fulfillment if blocked from FBA.
