New compliance questions for dangerous goods listings apply October 26

Starting October 26, 2026, if you create new listings or edit existing listings for select categories, you’ll be required to answer new compliance questions to help us identify dangerous goods, enable more ship methods, and reduce unnecessary disposal costs and fees.

The new questions apply to the following product categories:

• Refrigerators, air conditioners, freezers and similar products — to confirm refrigerant gas properties
• Shock absorbers and suspension lift supports — questions about the shock-absorbing mechanism
• Markers and writing instruments — questions about ink properties
• Pool and spa water treatment products (pool chemicals) — questions about chemical composition and packaging

If you have existing listings in any of these categories, you don't need to take action before October 26, 2026. These required questions will appear the next time you create or edit a listing. Accurate, complete answers help your listing go live without delays.

To see the compliance questions you may be asked during listing, go to Dangerous goods (hazmat) required information and documentation.
