From kitchen appliances to batteries and generators: make sense of product scope, power sources and the information an insurance review may need.

What to focus on

Describe the full product system, including batteries, chargers and separately sold components. Battery-based power stations and fuel-powered generators need different descriptions.

These are editorial product groups. Check exact Amazon category definitions before deciding whether the November requirement applies to a listing. Read the policy overview.

Immersion water heaters

An immersion heater application needs a clear account of what the product is designed to heat and how it is powered. Prepare the actual model specifications rather than describing the range only as household electrical products.

Small kitchen appliances

A kitchen brand can sell products that heat, cut, mix or store food under the same name. The product inventory should preserve those differences so both your category check and insurance discussion start with the actual range.

Lithium batteries

Lithium battery sellers need to explain what is being sold: individual cells, assembled packs and replacement batteries are different starting points for an insurance review. The intended application also matters.

Battery-powered home appliances

A cordless appliance is a complete system: the appliance, its battery and any charger supplied with it. Describe that system when checking the listing and preparing an insurance discussion.

Battery-powered smart-home & electronics

A small connected device may combine a rechargeable battery, charging accessories and software features. An insurance review needs the actual device function as well as the electronics label.

Portable power supplies

Portable power is a marketing term that can cover very different products. Start with whether the unit stores energy in a battery, converts power or is part of a larger system, then describe the actual specifications.

Portable generators

A generator seller should begin with the power source, rated output and manufacturer-stated use. Those details give an insurer more to assess than the general phrase outdoor equipment.

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.
