Has Amazon requested GMP verification for one of your dietary supplements? If you've received a compliance notification, an email from a testing provider, or you're unsure which documents to prepare, this guide will help you understand the process without unnecessary stress or costly mistakes.

GMP verification is a compliance process that may involve manufacturer documentation, product reviews, and, depending on the situation, additional testing. A verification request does not automatically mean your product has been banned or suspended. The first step is to review the specific request associated with your ASIN in Seller Central.

At AK Smart Service, we have assisted brands with Amazon-related verification processes. In this article, we combine procedures documented by Amazon and Eurofins with practical observations from cases our team has handled.

Requirements may vary depending on the product and verification provider. Always follow the latest instructions available in Amazon Seller Central.

What Does GMP Mean on Amazon?

GMP stands for Good Manufacturing Practices, a set of manufacturing standards designed to support product quality, safety, and consistency.

Current Good Manufacturing Practices (cGMP) establish controls for manufacturing processes, particularly for products such as dietary supplements.

In the United States, Amazon requires dietary supplement sellers to comply with its product safety and compliance policies. These requirements may include verification of a manufacturer's GMP certification and, when applicable, additional laboratory testing.

Amazon's policies reference FDA regulations such as 21 CFR Part 111 and, under certain circumstances, 21 CFR Part 117, or equivalent standards.

However, GMP compliance does not mean that a dietary supplement has received FDA approval.

Which Products May Require GMP Verification?

This guide focuses on dietary supplements sold on Amazon USA, including:

• Vitamins and minerals.

• Herbal supplements.

• Capsules and tablets.

• Powdered supplements.

• Liquid supplements.

• Sports nutrition products.

Specific requirements may vary depending on the product's formulation, risk category, ingredients, labeling claims, and the compliance notification issued for the ASIN.

It is important not to automatically apply these same requirements to cosmetics, over-the-counter medications, conventional foods, toys, or other product categories.

Amazon maintains separate compliance policies for different product types.

Are GMP Certificates and Laboratory Tests the Same Thing?

No. Although both may be part of Amazon's compliance process, they serve different purposes.

GMP Certification: Verifies that a manufacturing facility follows applicable manufacturing practices and quality standards.

Laboratory Testing: Evaluates specific aspects of a product, such as composition, contaminants, or label claims when testing is required.

A GMP certificate does not replace a Certificate of Analysis (COA), and a COA alone does not establish that the manufacturing facility holds an acceptable GMP certification.

Before submitting samples or paying for laboratory testing, confirm exactly what Amazon requires for your product.

Not every verification request follows the same process.

What Is an Authorized TIC Provider?

TIC stands for Testing, Inspection, and Certification.

Amazon works with authorized TIC providers to verify applicable product compliance requirements.

Eurofins is one of the organizations offering these services, although other authorized providers may also be available depending on Amazon's current policies and provider availability.

The appropriate provider should be selected through the relevant workflow in Manage Your Compliance within Amazon Seller Central.

If testing is performed by a different laboratory, Amazon may require an authorized TIC provider to validate the results.

The TIC provider may also submit the verification information directly to Amazon.

How to Complete Amazon GMP Verification: 7 Steps

Step 1. Identify the Specific Compliance Request

Log in to Amazon Seller Central and open Manage Your Compliance or the corresponding compliance notification.

Review and record the following information:

• The affected ASIN.

• The specific compliance requirement.

• The submission deadline.

• Instructions for selecting an authorized provider.

• Any additional documentation requested.

Keep a record of the case and its associated communications.

Remember that receiving a verification request does not necessarily mean your listing has already been permanently suspended.

Step 2. Gather the Required Documentation

Depending on the product and verification process, you may be asked to provide:

• A valid cGMP certificate.

• Manufacturer's legal business name.

• Manufacturing facility address.

• Brand owner information.

• Product label photographs or digital files.

• Ingredient information.

• Product identification details.

• Certificate of Analysis (COA).

• Relevant laboratory test results.

Make sure the product name, manufacturer information, and supporting documents are consistent.

Practical experience from our team:

In one case handled by AK Smart Service, the verification provider requested the applicant's first and last name, email address, company name, and business address.

The provider also requested manufacturer information, including the manufacturer's name, address, and email address.

Additionally, a specific "TR" reference number was provided in the verification correspondence.

This reference number was associated with that particular case and should not be assumed to be a universal identifier used by every provider.

In another situation, when a product was not available in Amazon's inventory, the provider requested product label documentation.

Always confirm the exact file format and documentation accepted for your specific verification request before submitting anything.

Step 3. Coordinate With Your Manufacturer

If you operate a private-label brand or work with a third-party manufacturer, you will likely need their cooperation.

Request current manufacturing documentation, verify that the certification applies to the correct facility, and confirm that all information accurately identifies your product.

Being the legal owner of a brand does not automatically make you the holder of the manufacturing facility's GMP certificate.

Working closely with your manufacturer can help prevent delays and inconsistencies during verification.

Step 4. Select an Authorized Verification Provider

Use the process provided by Amazon Seller Central to select the appropriate TIC provider.

If you choose Eurofins, its guidance indicates that a representative will contact the seller and coordinate the next steps.

Before proceeding, request clarification on:

• The number of ASINs covered.

• Required documentation.

• Whether physical samples are needed.

• Estimated processing times.

• Verification costs.

• Potential additional fees.

Understanding the full scope of the service before making a payment can help prevent unexpected expenses.

Step 5. Complete the Evaluation or Required Testing

The authorized provider will review your documentation and may request additional information, product samples, labels, or laboratory testing.

According to Eurofins' published information, its services may include evaluations related to:

• GMP certification.

• Product content claims.

• Labeling requirements.

• Potential adulterants.

• Microbiological testing.

The exact evaluation depends on the product and the applicable Amazon policy.

Not every product requires all these tests.

Step 6. Review the Results and Address Any Issues

Once the evaluation is completed, the provider communicates the results and submits the required information to Amazon according to the applicable process.

If the review identifies missing information, inconsistencies, or noncompliance, request a clear explanation of what needs to be corrected.

Avoid repeatedly submitting the same documents or paying for additional testing before understanding the reason for the issue.

An agency or service provider cannot guarantee Amazon's final approval.

Step 7. Confirm Your ASIN's Compliance Status

After the verification process, return to Seller Central and confirm that your product's compliance status has been updated.

Check whether Amazon has requested any additional information.

In some cases, a laboratory or verification provider may indicate that more time is needed.

Keep copies of all correspondence, submission dates, and verification results.

Important: Receiving a positive result from the verification provider does not automatically mean Amazon has completed its final review.

Always confirm the outcome directly in Seller Central.

How Much Does Amazon GMP Verification Cost With Eurofins?

There is no universal price that applies to every dietary supplement.

Verification costs depend on several factors, including the type of validation, required testing, number of products covered, and the provider's current pricing.

AK Smart Service's practical experience:

In one case managed with Eurofins, four verifications were completed for a total laboratory service cost of US$200.

This amount reflects a specific case and should not be interpreted as Eurofins' standard or publicly guaranteed pricing.

It also does not necessarily include management fees, additional laboratory tests, or other related services.

Before hiring a verification provider, confirm:

• How many products or ASINs are included in the quoted price.

• What each individual verification covers.

• Whether additional services may be required.

• Whether any extra fees could apply.

Do not assume that four products will always cost US$200 to verify.

How Long Does Amazon GMP Verification Take?

There is no universal processing time.

Based on cases handled by our team, the verification process has taken approximately 2 to 6 weeks.

This is an observation from previous cases, not a guaranteed timeline.

Several factors can influence the process, including:

• Availability of manufacturer documentation.

• Manufacturer response times.

• Type of verification required.

• Additional laboratory testing.

• Product sample shipping.

• Requests for clarification or corrections.

If Amazon's notification includes a deadline, address the request as soon as possible.

If the provider indicates that additional time is necessary, keep a record of the communication and follow the instructions provided through Seller Central.

Common GMP Verification Mistakes to Avoid

Sellers can reduce unnecessary delays by avoiding several common mistakes:

• Submitting an expired GMP certificate or one issued for a different manufacturing facility.

• Confusing a GMP certificate with a product's Certificate of Analysis.

• Providing incomplete product labels or information that does not match the actual product.

• Paying for laboratory testing before confirming the specific ASIN requirement.

• Failing to track Amazon's deadlines and laboratory requests.

• Assuming that approval for one ASIN automatically covers all other products.

• Resubmitting previously rejected documentation without understanding the reason for rejection.

Preparing accurate and consistent documentation is one of the most important parts of the verification process.

What Happens if GMP Verification Is Not Completed Successfully?

If your verification is unsuccessful or remains incomplete, the first step is identifying the underlying issue.

Common reasons may include:

• Missing documentation.

• Differences between manufacturer and product information.

• An unacceptable or expired certification.

• Product labeling inconsistencies.

• Laboratory testing requirements.

• Product classification issues requiring further review.

Work with your manufacturer and authorized verification provider to resolve the problem.

If Amazon provides an appeal option, follow the instructions available through Seller Central.

It is important to understand that verification outcomes and resolution times cannot be guaranteed.

Frequently Asked Questions About Amazon GMP Verification

Amazon Is Requesting GMP Verification. Does That Mean My Product Has Been Suspended?

Not necessarily.

A verification request does not automatically mean your product has been suspended.

Check the specific status of your ASIN, the submission deadline, and the information included in Amazon's notification.

Do All Dietary Supplements Require Physical Samples?

Not necessarily.

Some verification processes involve documentation reviews, while others may require additional laboratory testing.

The authorized provider and your specific compliance request determine the appropriate process.

Can I Use the GMP Certificate Provided by My Manufacturer?

Possibly.

The certificate must be current, apply to the correct manufacturing facility, and meet the applicable requirements.

The authorized TIC provider will determine whether the certificate is acceptable.

What Is the Difference Between GMP and COA?

GMP refers to manufacturing practices and their certification or verification.

A Certificate of Analysis (COA) provides laboratory analysis results for a particular batch or sample.

These documents serve different purposes and are not interchangeable.

Can I Submit My Documents Directly to Amazon?

When Amazon requires verification through an authorized TIC provider, that provider reviews and transmits the appropriate information according to Amazon's process.

Always follow the instructions displayed in Seller Central.

How Much Does Eurofins Charge for Amazon GMP Verification?

Pricing varies depending on the service.

In one particular case supported by AK Smart Service, four verifications were completed for a total of US$200.

This experience does not establish a universal Eurofins verification fee.

How Long Can the Verification Process Take?

In cases managed by our team, processing times have ranged from approximately 2 to 6 weeks.

However, every verification request is different.

What Should I Do if My Manufacturer Does Not Have a GMP Certificate?

Contact your manufacturer and the authorized TIC provider to determine what documentation or certification is acceptable.

An informal document does not automatically replace a valid GMP certification.

Can I Prepare for GMP Verification Before Amazon Sends a Notification?

Yes.

You can organize your product documentation and verify the status of your manufacturer's GMP certification in advance.

The formal verification process depends on the options available within Seller Central.

Does AK Smart Service Issue GMP Certificates?

No.

GMP certifications and technical compliance evaluations must be performed by qualified organizations.
