Start with the exact listing
Check the exact mobility or transfer equipment definition in Seller Central. Do not treat all medical equipment or mobility aids as one affected category; the public insurance announcement does not give that detailed scope.
Distinguish transfer aids, lifting equipment, seating and replacement components. Use the manufacturer's intended use and product classification rather than inferring scope from the store department.
What changes on November 2?
From November 2, 2026, Amazon.com sellers with products in categories with enhanced safety listing requirements must maintain commercial liability insurance covering those products, with at least USD $1 million per occurrence and in aggregate, regardless of sales. The existing requirement within 30 days of exceeding USD $10,000 in gross proceeds in any month also remains.
For an affected listing, being below the sales threshold will not remove the category requirement. If your product is outside those definitions, check the existing sales rule and any direct request in Seller Central. Apply the rules to Amazon.com rather than assuming the same position in every marketplace.
Review what is already on sale
Review new load capacities, powered features or intended settings when expanding the range. Disclose modifications and assembled combinations as well as complete products supplied by a manufacturer.
Match products to definitions
Keep a record of the relevant Seller Central category guidance and your listing identifiers. If the wording is unclear, ask Amazon about the precise product rather than guessing from a broad category name.
Check issued cover
If you already have insurance, ask whether it covers the relevant products and meets Amazon's current terms. An existing certificate is a starting point for review, not a substitute for checking the policy.
Allow time for document corrections
Follow the proof-of-insurance instructions in your seller account and check the submission status. Starting an application is different from having coverage in force and accepted documentation.
Common questions
Does this mean every mobility & transfer equipment listing is affected?
Check the exact mobility or transfer equipment definition in Seller Central. Do not treat all medical equipment or mobility aids as one affected category; the public insurance announcement does not give that detailed scope.
Can I apply with less than $10,000 in monthly sales?
Yes. Assureful's application accepts sales figures below $10,000 a month. Use your actual sales or a reasonable projection. An estimate does not guarantee product eligibility, an issued policy or Amazon's acceptance of your documents.
Amazon policy source: Commercial liability insurance announcement, checked September 8, 2026. Check the current enhanced-safety category definitions in Seller Central (sign-in may be required). Product checklists and examples are Assureful editorial guidance, not Amazon’s complete category list.
For Mainland China sellers, Amazon’s separate AIA requirement also applies from November 2: new policies submitted must be obtained through AIA; compliant third-party policies submitted beforehand can continue until expiry. Assureful’s current application supports businesses based in the United States and Hong Kong.
