Recently, Amazon announced that they will be starting to enforce their policy affecting over-the-counter (OTC) drugs and/or natural health products (NHP). However, they now e-mailed sellers with a correction, stating that the previously mentioned deadline of 30.September 2022 is being extended to 24.October 2022.
Amazon policy states that all drugs listed in scheduled substances, drugs paraphernalia, and any other drugs and NHPs listed in the “Controlled Drugs and Substances Act” cannot be sold on their platform.
Here you can view a copy of the e-mail regarding the matter:
| Important information about over-the-counter drug and natural health product listings on Amazon.ca Hello, We are contacting you because you are selling or have sold over-the-counter (OTC) drugs and/or natural health products (NHP) on Amazon.ca. For more information on our policy on these products, go to “Drugs, Drug Paraphernalia & Dietary Supplements”: https://sellercentral.amazon.ca/help/hub/reference/external/200164490 You may have previously received emails informing non-compliant ASINs will be removed from our store starting September 30, 2022. As part of our ongoing efforts to provide the best possible seller and customer experience, we have extended this deadline. Non-compliant ASINs will now be removed from the http://amazon.ca/ store starting October 24, 2022. We will resume sending updated list of identified ASINs from the first week of October 2022. Why is this happening? Drugs and natural health products are regulated by Health Canada. Health Canada regulates who can distribute scheduled substances, narcotics, and paraphernalia. Amazon policy states that all drugs listed in scheduled substances, drugs paraphernalia, and any other drugs and NHPs listed in the “Controlled Drugs and Substances Act”: https://laws-lois.justice.gc.ca/eng/acts/C-38.8/ are not to be sold on Amazon.ca. For more information, go to “Drug Scheduling in Canada – General Overview”: https://www.napra.ca/drug-scheduling-canada-general-overview, provided by the National Association of Pharmacy Regulatory Authorities. If you believe your listings were incorrectly identified or have already been restricted, write to rpsa-sim@amazon.com with a list of affected ASINs. The Amazon Restricted Products team |

For this reason, we launched a new Facebook group, Crypto Arbitrage Income (Bitcoin, Crypto, Altcoins, Blockchain, Trading) – feel free to join us and forget about the troubles of selling on Amazon for a moment!
