Quick Answers for Amazon Sellers
Do I need insurance to sell on Amazon?
Many sellers do, because product liability exposure can exist before Amazon formally requests documents.
What insurance does Amazon usually request?
Requests normally focus on suitable liability cover and documentation that matches your legal entity and product profile.
Is FBA automatically covered by Amazon?
No. FBA handles fulfilment operations, but seller-side liability for products sold usually remains with the seller business.
How much does Amazon seller insurance cost?
Price depends on product type, import profile, territories, fulfilment model and claims history, not just turnover.
Top risk categories
- Product safety allegations
- Imported-goods control gaps
- US/Canada territory severity
- Compliance-response delays
How To Present Amazon Seller Risk
Sellers should explain what they sell, where products are sourced, who owns the brand, how orders are fulfilled and where customers are based. A clear risk profile helps underwriters judge whether product liability, recall, legal expenses, cyber or stock cover should be reviewed.
Useful evidence includes supplier invoices, testing records, product instructions, safety warnings, complaint logs, Amazon account requirements and turnover split by marketplace.
