[Community Discussion] Cosmetic Labeling Compliance: English + French Requirements

A number of sellers are reporting account notifications requiring proof that 20+ SKUs carry bilingual labeling (English and French). This appears to be a targeted compliance notice, though it’s unclear whether Amazon is enforcing this rule across all sellers or targeting specific categories or regions.

What’s Being Required

  • Proof that at least 20 SKUs include English and French labeling
  • Likely applies to cosmetic and personal care products destined for Canadian marketplaces or multi-region fulfillment
  • The scope and targeting criteria remain unclear to affected sellers

Key Questions for Your Account

  • Did you receive a similar notice? If so, what category or region was flagged?
  • Is this a blanket requirement for all cosmetic sellers, or selective enforcement?
  • What documentation does Amazon accept as proof of compliance?
  • What’s the deadline for response?

If you’ve received this notice, document the email details (date, exact requirements, deadline) and consider reaching out to Seller Support for clarification on scope and acceptable evidence.
