What to focus on

Smoke alarms, carbon monoxide detectors and other gas detectors are distinct products. Give the insurer model-level information and disclose any installation or maintenance services.

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

Fire extinguishers

Fire extinguishers are sold for a specific protective purpose. An insurance conversation should identify the actual models, their stated use and your role in sourcing or importing them, rather than stopping at home safety equipment.

Smoke alarms

A smoke-alarm range may include battery-powered, hardwired, interconnected or combination models. Those distinctions are useful both when checking Amazon's product definitions and when explaining the range to an insurer.

Carbon monoxide & gas detectors

The first useful question is what the detector detects. A carbon monoxide alarm, combustible-gas detector and combination unit should be described individually, even if they sit together in your Amazon store.

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.
