how to get the certification of exemption of a minimum risk pesticide?
We are going to sell a kind of minimum risk pesticide. I am sure it's a minimum risk pesticide according to six conditions of MRP . But the question is, we don't know how to get the certification of exemption. It's technically exempted to register on EPA, but it seems that it still needs to be qualified as an exempted product. It's so confusing.
I've uploaded the listing and now it's removed for policies violation. Here's the details:
This product has been identified as an unregistered pesticide or a product that makes pesticidal claims and is unregistered. Amazon policy requires that pesticide products listed on Amazon.com must be registered with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) or qualify for an exemption from registration. The following are the available paths to reinstatement: 1.Please provide the pesticide product's EPA registration number or EPA Establishment number by updating the Pesticide Marking Attribute. 2. Alternatively, if you believe your product is exempted, please provide evidence of exemption from registration and update the Pesticide Marking Attribute with the correct selection. Evidence of exemption from registration may include proof of state pesticide registration as an EPA-exempt product. Note: Please ensure complete full images of all sides of the product labeling have been uploaded to the site for review. Products claiming exemption from registration will undergo additional review to ensure they meet the EPA's Conditions for Minimum Risk Pesticide Products. For information on how to register your product with the EPA, please see their guidance here: (EPA website-pesticide-registration-manual). For information on EPA’s conditions for minimum risk pesticide products that are exempt from EPA registration, please see their guidance here: （EPA website-conditions-minimum-risk-pesticides). For more information on Amazon’s policies for listing pesticides, please refer to the help page on Pesticides and Pesticide Devices: https://sellercentral.amazon.com/gp/help/202115120
And I also learn that even exempted pesticide still needs to register on state level. But if I sell it on Amazon, which state should I register? All? I don't think so. There must be some alternatives that I don't know.
And I learn that before registration on state, EPA Est No. is required. Is that real?

Hi there @Seller_m1YYk9jmBle4L ,
Thank you for reaching out with your questions on Pesticide Products. Per Amazon policy, only U.S. residents can sell pesticides and pesticide devices in Amazon’s U.S. store. This applies to all pesticide products, including Minimum Risk Pesticides. You can review the above help page on how to apply to sell these products.
Regarding State Pesticide Registration you can review the appropriate policies on the State pesticide registration help page. Amazon checks state registration information for pesticide products to confirm whether they are registered in all states and the District of Columbia. Pesticide products that require registration and are not active in the state’s registration database cannot be sold in the applicable geography. As such you will need to register in any state you intend to list the product.
Thank you for your understanding.
