Expiration labeling

Hello Amazon seller community,

I am planning on selling a topical item that does expire and it has an expiration date printed on the bottle in black font, do I still need additional expiration sticker label on the product or can it be sent directly to the fulfilment center? Thank you.

Good afternoon @Seller_b1fTuvlhdWoJe,

Great question, I'll be happy to provide further clarification!

You can find the core requirements for expiration labeling in Seller Central:

"Labeling expiration-dated products

  • Expiration-dated products must follow these labeling requirements.
  • All ingestible products (including animal products) must be clearly labeled with an expiration date or manufacturing date. Lot numbers alone are insufficient.
  • All baby food and baby formula products must have a clearly labeled expiration date.
  • Any expiration date must be clearly labeled. A best-by or sell-by date is considered the equivalent of an expiration date.
  • Any manufacturing date must be clearly labeled. A manufacturing date is the equivalent of a production date.
  • Failure to specify the manufacturing date or expiration date on a product might cause delays in receiving your products, or it may cause products to be received as expired at the fulfillment center.
  • All medical devices must have expiration dates. They must be clearly labeled using YYYY-MM-DD format.
  • For products other than medical devices, acceptable date formats are:
  • MM-DD-YYYY
  • MM-YYYY
  • Numeric date formats are preferred. However, dates with an alphabetical abbreviation for the month (for example, DD-JAN-YYYY) are also acceptable.
  • All case packs, multipacks, and display boxes must have the expiration date on the box or bundle, as well as on each individual item inside the box or bundle.
  • Do not conceal the original expiration date or other information on the product packaging (such as ingredients, drug facts, net contents, or distributor information)."

For more information, I recommend reading through this link. Best of luck, let me know if you have any follow up questions!
