General Vitamin Supplement Manufacturers from China
Hi,
We are planning to manufacture general vitamin supplements in China, and our manufacturer has all the necessary certifications, including NSF, GMP, FDA, ISO, HACCP, and COA.
Could anyone please advise us on the following:
As brand owners, do we need any specific certifications, licenses, or lab tests to sell dietary supplements on Amazon USA and in the U.S. market?
Is general liability insurance required for selling supplements?
Regarding Amazon's Dietary Supplement Compliance Checklist, point number 1 states that "Supplements must be sealed in the original manufacturer’s packaging." If the supplements are sealed by our manufacturer in China with our brand name, do we need to include the manufacturer's name and address on the supplement bottles/boxes, or should we list our U.S. address instead?
We would greatly appreciate any guidance on these matters and thank you all in advance for your assistance.
Thank you!

Hello @Seller_EldX9YBXspTbT,
My name is Dougal from the Community Manager Team and I am happy to assist. Responses are indented below a copy/paste of your question:
As brand owners, do we need any specific certifications, licenses, or lab tests to sell dietary supplements on Amazon USA and in the U.S. market?
- Yes, the specifics of what you need would vary based on your individual situation, but you can find the policy and compliance on the Dietary supplements help page (Note, this page is in the food and compliance section of Seller Help).
Is general liability insurance required for selling supplements?
- There is a Commercial Liability Insurance Policy help page that provides that is the best place to start.
If the supplements are sealed by our manufacturer in China with our brand name, do we need to include the manufacturer's name and address on the supplement bottles/boxes, or should we list our U.S. address instead?
- In the labeling instructions just below the section you quoted from the Dietary supplements help page (Note, this page is in the restricted products section of Seller Help) are 5 elements of required information that have to be included on the label. One of which is "The name and address of the manufacturer, packer, or distributor."
Hope this helps and please let me know if you have any other questions.
Best, Dougal

Hello Dougal,Thank you so much for your detailed reply. I will review it, and if anything is unclear, I might need to disturb you again.
I have one more question: Do we need to include the Prop 65 warning (California law) on the product packaging, the Amazon listing, or both when creating the listing? Please advise.
Once again, thank you so much for your help.
Best regards,

Hi @Seller_EldX9YBXspTbT,/ Rashid,
It is my pleasure to assist. Prop 65 is pretty intricate and it will depend on the actual product and which warnings are necessary. Luckily, we have the California Proposition 65 (Prop 65) help page which provides the process to add Prop 65 to your listings as well as links to California's prop 65.gov webpages for the labeling requirements.
Hope this helps and please let me know if you have any other questions.
Best, Dougal

Hello @Seller_EldX9YBXspTbT,
You can find everything you need on the Categories and products that require approval help page.
Since no one will know your product better than you, I recommend taking some time to review the linked page so you can ensure you have all the required information and resources to appropriately determine if the product requires approval and if so, what those requirements are.
Best, Dougal
