Brand Approval
Hoping someone or an Amazon rep can give some guidance.
I am seeking brand approval to list a product. I purchase direct from the brand and have provided all required documentation to Amazon. Every item on the Amazon checklist is met and is clearly laid out for Amazon. There are other sellers who are listing the same product.
I have made 2 attempts at approval and have been denied each time. I have attempted to get direction from Amazon on multiple occasions as to what is missing in the documentation, and they are unwilling to provide specific feedback as to where the issue is. Without this feedback, I cannot know what needs to be changed or where the issue is in the application.
Any direction or support from this forum is greatly appreciated.
Thanks

INVOICES
Copies of invoices, receipts or other similar documents that demonstrate where your products are produced or manufactured
You invoice should include
• detailed list of products (at least 10 per item, Product name, model number or UPC that can be verified online))
• terms of sale (net30/net60/cash..)
• must be by the brand itself or a brand authorized distributor (not a retail store for the general public (That includes outlets and brand direct retail), not some back door pallet seller wanna be distributor )***
• your full business name and address, as entered in seller central
• a COMPLETED transaction ( order shipped),
• suppliers full name and contact details, (e-mail, phone or both)
• Should demonstrate your product’s full supply chain
**Should include contact information for the supplier(s) and the original manufacturer. We may contact suppliers or manufacturers to verify the documents
Your documents should be able to trace your products to the original manufacturer even if you did not purchase them directly from the original manufacturer. This may require requesting additional invoices or supply chain documentation from your supplier if you are not sourcing directly from the manufacturer.
Any brand approved distributor will provide supply chain documents! They are not asking for invoices showing the distributor purchased from the brand, they are asking for proof that the distributor is a brand authorized distributor. A contract between the brand and that distributor. That contract may also include information about limitations, such as certain products may only be sold to retailers with a B&M, or some products may not be offered at online marketplaces. Supply chain documentation may include material disclosures, substance declarations, compliance certificates, and especially certificates of origin

Hello @Seller_vQHBkjwBNFBLh,
Michelle at Amazon here. @Seller_4zBzdtgCyS9EI has provided you with some great information. Thank you Its_all_Nuts_again for always offering your valuable knowledge.
If you would like me to look into your case, please send me the case ID and I will be happy to see if I can see anything that you may be missing, however, know that I don't see the specific reasons that you are denied.
If the brand that you are trying to sell has Brand Registry, ask them to add you to their approval list, which will add you as an approved seller.
Regards,
Michelle
