Amazon Rolls Out GPSR Compliance Widget to Help EU Sellers Avoid Listing Removals
Amazon introduced the GPSR Submission widget in Seller Central after the EU GPSR deadline of 13 December 2024. Sellers must enter an EU‑based responsible‑person and manufacturer per brand for each EU marketplace; the data auto‑populates product pages within 24 hours, cutting update time from 120 hours to under 10 hours for a 5,000‑listing seller.
Overview
Amazon has introduced a new compliance widget inside Seller Central that streamlines the submission of General Product Safety Regulation (GPSR) data for sellers on its European marketplaces. The EU deadline passed on 13 December 2024, and any seller who has not entered a valid EU‑based responsible person and manufacturer contact risks having their listings hidden across all EU sites. The tool is designed to prevent those removals by automating data entry and display.
Key Points
- Regulation deadline passed — The EU’s GPSR enforcement date of 13 December 2024 is already in the past, and Amazon is actively suppressing non‑compliant listings.
- Two data fields per brand — Sellers must provide an EU responsible‑person contact and the manufacturer’s name and address for each brand they list.
- 24‑hour product‑page update — Once Amazon validates the responsible‑person details, the information appears on the product detail page within a day, eliminating manual edits.
- Separate entry for each marketplace — Even if the same responsible person is used, sellers must repeat the submission for every EU storefront (e.g., .de, .fr, .it, .es, .nl, .pl, .se, .be).
- Immediate enforcement — Amazon can hide listings without additional warning, which can affect sales, organic rankings, and account health metrics.
How the GPSR Compliance Widget Works
- Access the widget — Log in to Seller Central, navigate to the “Compliance” tab, and click the “GPSR Submission” widget. For example, a seller managing 3,200 ASINs can open the tool from the dashboard in under a minute.
- Enter responsible‑person details — Input the EU‑based contact name, email, phone number, and address for each brand. A U.S. seller using a third‑party representative in Germany would enter the representative’s German office information here.
- Provide manufacturer information – Add the legal manufacturer’s name, full mailing address, and a point‑of‑contact email. If the same manufacturer supplies multiple brands, the seller repeats the entry for each brand to meet the widget’s structure.
