Amazon Manage Your Compliance (MYC) is the Seller Central dashboard where Amazon lists the compliance documents it wants for your products and where you submit or appeal them, one at a time or in bulk for up to 5,000 products per spreadsheet. Each product row shows the ASIN, SKU, the requirement, the approval status of what you sent, and an At-risk sales figure you can use to decide what to fix first. Its companion, Compliance Reference, lets you look up a product’s requirements before Amazon asks — which is the cheaper moment to find out.
This guide covers the US store. We have no Seller Central account, so there are no back-office screenshots here; dashboard details come from Amazon’s own published descriptions, each dated below.

The blog is the most detailed public description of the dashboard, and it is three years old. The name is still current: Amazon’s RLS help page, read on 2026-10-03, says sellers “receive notification within 24 hours through Manage Your Compliance (MYC) dashboard.” Column labels may have shifted since 2022; treat the descriptions below as Amazon’s 2022-08 account of the screen, not a pixel map.
What the Manage Your Compliance Dashboard Shows
Per the 2022-08 blog, “For each product with compliance requirements, the dashboard shows the product name and image, the Amazon Standard Identification Number (ASIN), and the stock keeping unit number (SKU).” It adds the approval status for anything you have submitted and an At-risk sales column.
| Field (per Amazon’s 2022-08 blog) | What you use it for |
|---|---|
| Product name, image, ASIN, SKU | Matching the request to the exact listing and supplier file |
| Required compliance documentation | Knowing which document type Amazon wants |
| Approval status | Seeing whether a submission was accepted, pending, or rejected |
| At-risk sales | Ranking which requests to clear first |
The News_Amazon launch post of 2021-12-20 adds two capabilities: you can “Filter and sort cases by due date to identify the most critical actions,” and “Access any services needed to achieve compliance.”
MYC is also where Amazon routes heavier events. During a recall, the RLS page says sellers “Select management preference in MYC dashboard,” and Amazon’s 2024 GPSR announcement (Seller Forums, Ezra_Amazon, posted 2024-04-24, read 2026-10-03) pointed EU sellers to an “Add compliance information” widget in the same dashboard (covered in our GPSR guide).
How Amazon Compliance Document Uploads Work: One-by-One or 5,000 at a Time
The blog describes two routes: “Submit or appeal documents one-by-one or via bulk document upload.”
One-by-one suits a handful of ASINs or a request that needs a careful, single document — a Children’s Product Certificate for one toy, say.
Bulk works through a spreadsheet. In the blog’s words: “you can download a spreadsheet that contains all your active requests for compliance documentation, add the necessary compliance information for each product listed, then re-upload the spreadsheet to fulfill requirements across multiple listings. Upload documentation for up to 5,000 products at a time.” The forum launch post states the same ceiling for appeals: “Submit documents and manage appeals in bulk (up to 5000 ASINs).”
Three working habits make bulk upload less painful:
- Download fresh each time. The spreadsheet holds active requests only. An Amazon staff reply on Seller Forums says ASINs drop off the template once their request or appeal is resolved, so an old copy can carry rows that no longer need anything.
- Group by document, not by ASIN. One test report often covers a model sold in several colors or bundles. Sort rows by supplier and model so a single PDF fills every row it legitimately covers.
- Keep a submission log outside Seller Central. Record date, ASIN, file name, and lab. If a row is rejected, you need to know exactly which file Amazon saw.
Appeals: When the Request Itself Is Wrong
An appeal is the other answer to a request: instead of supplying the document, you argue that the requirement does not apply, or that a rejection was mistaken. The blog groups it with submission (“Submit or appeal documents”), and the launch post confirms appeals run in bulk too.
Appeal when the product was misclassified — a decorative item flagged as a children’s toy, a product without a battery flagged under battery rules. Supply documents when the requirement does apply, even if it is inconvenient. Appeals cost review time, and Amazon staff in the same forum thread have said they cannot see why the appeals team rejected a given document, so an unclear appeal tends to come back without a usable reason.
If a listing is already down while you work through this, our guide to suppressed listings covers the other causes that can look similar.
Using At-risk Sales to Set the Order of Work
The blog says the At-risk sales column helps you “prioritize the products with compliance needs that have the highest impact for your business.” Amazon’s public pages do not explain how the figure is calculated, so treat it as a ranking signal, not a forecast.
We work a long request list in this order:
- Due date first. The launch post’s due-date sort exists for a reason; an expired request costs the listing regardless of its sales.
- At-risk sales second. Among requests with similar deadlines, clear the highest figure first.
- Document reuse third. A single supplier test report that clears twenty low-revenue rows can be worth doing before one high-revenue row that needs a new lab test.
- FBA stock last but not least. Non-compliant inventory in fulfillment centers faces disposal (see below), so ASINs with units in Amazon’s network deserve a bump.
Compliance Reference: Look Up Requirements Before the Request Lands
Compliance Reference is the preventive half. Amazon’s help page, read on 2026-10-03, describes it as “a tool designed for education and compliance assessment purposes, to preview the latest compliance requirements for a product as well as service providers who can assist you with fulfilling the requirements.”
Per that page, the tool works like this:
- Pick a destination store, then search by product type, by ASIN, or by product type plus keyword.
- Read the tabs: product compliance, dangerous goods compliance, export trade compliance, and import trade compliance (the last two ask which country the goods ship from).
- For European stores, an EU regulations tab lists the applicable regulations.
- Filter service providers by location or supported language, and download the requirements as a PDF.
Two limits from the same page matter. “Not all product types are available in Compliance Reference at this time,” and if you see “No related product type found,” your product may simply not be covered. Also, “If the product is prohibited for sale on Amazon, then the View help content button will be disabled” — a useful early warning.
The 2022-08 blog frames the scope as “import or export regulations in the country you want to ship from or sell in” and safety requirements for products “such as toys or baby products, or products that contain batteries.” Battery products also go through a separate dangerous goods review; see our hazmat guide.
Run the lookup when you shortlist a product, before the first purchase order. Ask the supplier for the named documents then, while you still have leverage. If the category is also gated, our ungating guide covers that separate approval.
What Makes a Document Pass
Amazon’s Product compliance documentation page (read 2026-10-03) sets the bar. The essentials:
| Document | Key requirements per Amazon’s help page |
|---|---|
| Children’s Product Certificate (CPC) | Specific product description, applicable children’s safety rules, test dates and place, importer or US manufacturer contact, records keeper, manufacture month/year and location, CPSC-accepted lab details |
| General Certificate of Conformity (GCC) | Same structure; “Third-party laboratory testing is not a requirement for GCCs” |
| CPSC test reports | “must be from independent, third-party testing laboratories”; children’s products need a CPSC-accepted lab accredited for that scope |
| ISO 17025 test report | Requester, proof against “all required sections” of the standard, age grading for children’s products, applicant and manufacturer addresses, make/model, an image matching the ASIN |
All documents must be “authentic, in their original (unmodified) format, and in a non-editable format like a PDF or JPEG.” If the model number differs from your listing — common with rebranded goods — Amazon may require an affidavit from the test report applicant.
One more check: Amazon’s Safety, compliance, and product restrictions page says documentation from some labs “no longer meet Amazon’s standards” and recommends reviewing the list of suspended labs before submitting. A perfectly formatted report from a suspended lab is still a rejection. Amazon’s Service Provider Network lists testing and compliance providers if you need a new lab.
For some categories there is a shortcut: under the Compliance Fast-Track program, products certified by a participating organization are validated automatically, “eliminating the need for you to submit compliance documentation” (Compliance Fast-Track, read 2026-10-03).
What Happens If You Ignore the Dashboard
The 2022-08 blog lists three outcomes: “your listings could be removed, which might affect your Account Health. If you ship internationally, non-compliant items might get stopped in customs. And if you have inventory at Amazon fulfillment centers, non-compliant products might be disposed of.”
Amazon’s current policy page goes further: corrective action can include “destroying inventory in Amazon’s fulfillment centers without reimbursement” and suspending selling privileges. Track the Account Health side in our Account Health Rating guide.
Where This Fits Next to GPSR and Recalls
- This page: the US document-request dashboard and the lookup tool.
- GPSR: EU legal duties — Responsible Person, labels, technical files — some of which you submit through MYC.
- Product recalls: what happens when a regulator acts; MYC is the notification channel, but the rules differ.
Pre-Request Checklist
- Run Compliance Reference for every new product type and destination store.
- Get the named certificate or test report from the supplier before ordering.
- Confirm the lab is accredited for the standard and not on Amazon’s suspended list.
- Check the make/model on the report matches the listing, or arrange an affidavit.
- Store every document as an original, non-editable PDF.
- Check MYC weekly; sort by due date, then At-risk sales.
- Log every submission and appeal with date and file name.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Manage Your Compliance the same as Compliance Reference?
No. Manage Your Compliance shows requests Amazon has already opened on your products and takes your submissions and appeals. Compliance Reference is a lookup tool you use before any request exists.
How many products can I upload compliance documents for at once?
Amazon’s 2022-08 blog says up to 5,000 products per bulk spreadsheet; the launch post says up to 5000 ASINs for documents and appeals.
What does the At-risk sales column mean?
Amazon says it helps you prioritize the products with the highest business impact. Its public pages do not publish the formula, so use it to rank work, not to forecast losses.
What if my product type is not in Compliance Reference?
Amazon’s help page says not all product types are covered yet and points you to its product compliance policy pages instead.
Bottom Line
Manage Your Compliance is where Amazon’s document requests arrive and where you clear them, singly or 5,000 at a time. Compliance Reference tells you what those requests will be before they arrive. Use the second at sourcing time and the first becomes a short weekly check.
