Service eligibility and regional restrictions
PuppyIP serves only compliant overseas businesses and their authorized personnel. Proxy services are not available in mainland China. The service may only be used for lawful business activities outside mainland China. Use of this service within mainland China is prohibited.
Hosting a proxy IP or server overseas does not change these restrictions. The service must not be provided to end users in mainland China through relaying, forwarding, sharing or resale. Before use, read the Terms of Service.
Key Takeaways
- This check covers rechargeable batteries themselves, including replacements and packs. The notice distinguishes battery-powered end appliances; it does not enumerate every European storefront.
- The policy took effect July 2, with phased noncompliant-product removal from September 30. Dates are indicative; actual account notices govern and no particular listing removal is established here.
- Prohibited cylindrical lithium-ion cells, replacement parts and packs require a different path from applicable products eligible for TIC verification.
- Applicable products need IEC/EN 62133-2 or IEC/EN 62619, plus UN 38.3. Submit the relevant laboratory reports, UN 38.3 report, battery test summary and labels to an Amazon-authorized TIC provider.
- Check Account Health and inventory issues after review. Sampling, failed document review or other unresolved ASIN issues can keep sales suspended; submission alone does not restore sales.
What does September 30 actually mark?
The Amazon Global Selling notice is dated August 5, 2026, not a new September 30 policy. It says the European rechargeable-battery TIC policy took effect July 2 and phased removal begins September 30. Dates are indicative and account notices supply actual compliance timing; no universal execution hour or ASIN removal status is provided.
Check Seller Central Account Health, compliance requests and inventory issues against each ASIN's notice, deadline and documents. If its timing differs from the public overview, verify the account and storefront notice and retain submissions. Do not infer removal from the announcement or postpone collecting reports until the indicative deadline passes.
Separate verifiable batteries from prohibited cylindrical types
Scope covers rechargeable lithium batteries themselves, including accumulators, lithium-ion, LiPo, LiFePO4, rechargeable coin cells and replacements for specified devices. Battery-powered end appliances are expressly distinguished. Classify structure, packaging, use and ASIN rather than every listing mentioning battery. US/Canada TIC for battery-powered household appliances is another policy.
The notice prohibits cylindrical lithium-ion types including 18650, 21700, 26650, 32700, 32650, 28600, 26700, 20700, 22650, 26500, 18500, 17670, 18350, 16340, 14500 and 10440. Scope includes individual cells, assembled/unassembled multicell packs, replacements/spares and products containing restricted types. Check the complete list and account notice before continuing listing; a test report cannot authorize prohibited goods.
One safety standard plus UN 38.3
For applicable nonprohibited products, the table requires either IEC/EN 62133-2 or IEC/EN 62619 and also UN 38.3. Documents include an ISO 17025-accredited laboratory report demonstrating one safety standard, a UN 38.3 report, and BTS battery test summary demonstrating UN 38.3 compliance. The either/or does not make UN 38.3 optional.
Have an Amazon-authorized TIC provider review existing reports, or send products for testing through the official process if reports are missing. Model, brand, manufacturer and sold ASIN must correspond. Provider links may require Seller Central login; no provider choice, quote or guaranteed review time was verified here.
Align labels, images and the detail page
Required information includes model/part/product number; manufacturer, importer, distributor or authorized representative name/address; product labels; and instructions/manual. Detail pages need model/number, manufacturer/brand, hazard warnings and compliance information. Reconcile packaging, reports, labels and listing before correcting fields or submitting documents.
Retain ASIN, storefront, provider, report version, submission time and account status. Sampling may still occur. Failed tests or document review can suspend sales until compliant documents and other ASIN issues are resolved. Check unresolved Account Health/inventory issues instead of using duplicate uploads or changed exits to obscure review failures.
A practical seller checklist
First list affected European ASINs and notices with actual dates per storefront. Second classify batteries, replacements, appliances and prohibited cylindrical types; do not send potentially prohibited goods through ordinary TIC as a sales workaround. Third verify safety report, UN 38.3 report and BTS for remaining applicable goods, matching model and labels before contacting an authorized provider.
Fourth complete images, labels, manuals and listing fields, submit through the actual request and keep receipts. Fifth monitor Account Health and saleability; obtain the specific missing-item/failure explanation before correction and check other ASIN issues. Public information proves no account deadline, review outcome or restoration; use actual seller records.
Network access cannot settle product compliance
Proxies cannot change classification, TIC results, required reports or sale eligibility. Investigate Seller Central networking separately only with DNS, TLS, timeout or 407 evidence, using the connection troubleshooting checklist. A temporarily inaccessible page proves neither approval nor removal.
This guide uses the publicly readable Global Selling notice and accessed no seller account. Complete storefront lists, account deadlines, provider charges and review progress remain unverified. For differences, check the specific ASIN request and official help.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are all European lithium-battery listings removed September 30?
No. Noncompliant products are removed in phases from that date, with account-specific compliance timing. Check the ASIN notice and saleability.
Does this cover every battery-powered appliance?
The notice distinguishes rechargeable batteries themselves, including replacements, from powered end appliances. Classify the product and check ASIN notices and other applicable rules.
Can a report authorize 18650 or 21700 cells?
Do not assume so. The notice prohibits multiple cylindrical types and combinations/replacements. Check the complete list and notice; TIC cannot override prohibition.
Are IEC/EN 62133-2, 62619 and UN 38.3 three alternatives?
No. Meet one of the two IEC/EN standards and UN 38.3, with the specified report and BTS documents.
Does submission immediately restore sales?
Not necessarily. Sampling, failed testing/document review and other ASIN issues may keep sales suspended. Check Account Health, inventory and actual review results.
Can another proxy fix TIC rejection or removal?
No. Network troubleshooting cannot change categories, reports, deadlines or sales eligibility.
