How do I check if a product infringes on Amazon?

To check for product infringement on Amazon, use the USPTO Trademark Electronic Search System (TESS) for trademarks, Google Patents or Espacenet for patents, and Amazon's Brand Registry search. Tools like SellerSprite Infringement Checker and AI Patent Search can automate risk detection before listing.

What are the EU EPR requirements for cross-border sellers?

EU Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) requires sellers to register for packaging waste, WEEE (electronics), and batteries in each market they sell into. Germany requires LUCID packaging registration, France requires ADEME registration, and Spain requires RIIRAE registration. Non-compliance results in product removal and fines.

How can Amazon sellers protect against account suspension?

To protect against Amazon account suspension: maintain authentic invoices with supplier information, respond to performance notifications within 48 hours, keep Order Defect Rate below 1%, avoid counterfeit claims by sourcing from authorized distributors, and use dedicated IP addresses per account to prevent association flags.
