Direct Answer
Often yes. Even without holding stock, sellers can still face product-related allegations from goods they sell.
Why This Matters for UK Amazon Sellers
This guide is written for UK-based Amazon businesses. Insurance decisions are usually strongest when they match product type, fulfilment model, sourcing method and where goods are sold.
Real-World Scenarios
- A customer alleges injury linked to a product sold on Amazon.
- Amazon asks for insurance evidence after a complaint or compliance review.
- A seller discovers current wording does not match imported goods, private label, or overseas sales.

Dropshipping Insurance Details To Prepare
Dropshipping sellers should prepare supplier locations, product categories, sales territories, platform turnover and whether they are named as the seller, importer or brand owner. Insurance terms can change where the UK seller does not physically hold stock but still controls the listing, customer relationship or brand presentation.
It is also useful to keep supplier due-diligence records, product safety evidence, complaint history and Amazon account requirements together before requesting terms.
