FAQ

Why must Amazon sellers pay attention to TIC direct verification?

Platform Rule Changes: TIC Direct Verification Becomes Mandatory Recently, Amazon's US site updated the compliance verification process for certain product categories, requiring toys and other items to undergo direct verification by a platform-recognized TIC agency. This means that sellers can no longer choose their own testing agencies and upload reports as they used to; instead, they must have the verification, review, and report submission done directly by an Amazon-recognized TIC agency. This change significantly enhances the transparency and credibility of the compliance process and also places higher demands on sellers' supply chain management. For products that do not pass direct verification, Amazon will take measures such as removing them from the shelves or removing links, which directly affect sellers' sales performance. Therefore, staying informed about new regulations and choosing compliant agencies has become the top priority for current sellers. Huabiao Testing: Professional Testing, Full Process Empowerment As a leading TIC agency in China, Huabiao Testing has long been committed to providing export enterprises with testing certification services that meet international standards. Its selection as part of Amazon's official recognized list reflects its professional capabilities in the field of toy testing and the platform's recognition.

Seller Action Guide: Three Steps to Implement Compliance To smoothly transition to the new regulatory system, sellers can follow these steps to carry out their compliance work: Confirm Product Category: First, verify whether the toys sold belong to the mandatory verification scope of Amazon; Choose TIC Agency: Select an official recognized agency such as Huabiao Testing through the Amazon seller platform; Submit Verification Application: Check the relevant ASINs, initiate the direct verification process, and cooperate with the agency to complete sample submission and data submission. Through the above process, sellers can continue to maintain the normal listing and sales of their products under the background of strengthened platform supervision.

Starting from September 2025, Amazon will officially implement the TIC (Testing, Inspection, Certification) direct verification system on its US and Canadian sites. This means that sellers will no longer be able to upload compliance documents themselves; they must complete verification and upload through an Amazon-designated TIC agency. For sellers, this is both a challenge and an opportunity.

Firstly, authenticity and credibility will become core. In the past, some sellers may have uploaded reports through non-standard channels, or even with false materials. The new system requires direct submission by TIC, completely eliminating the possibility of falsified documents.

Secondly, existing test reports are not useless. If your report comes from a laboratory with ISO17025 qualifications, it still has reference value. You only need to submit the report for TIC review, which will confirm whether the content is complete. If it passes, it can be converted into a submission format recognized by Amazon.

Thirdly, cost and timeliness are the most important concerns for sellers. Many sellers may wonder: If I already have a report, why should I pay money? The reason is that direct verification is not just "uploading," but includes a comprehensive review and endorsement of the authenticity and compliance of the documents. TIC agencies need to bear compliance risks for this, so verification services inevitably incur costs.

Fourthly, the cost of non-compliance is higher. If sellers still harbor a lucky mentality and use unverified materials, it will not only lead to product removal but may also result in account freezing, which is more than counterproductive.

Lastly, choosing the right TIC partner is very important. Take Ningbo Huabiao Testing (GIG) as an example; we have completed direct verification services for hundreds of sellers, covering document review, label inspection, rectification guidance, re-verification, and final upload, truly helping sellers pass the test in one go. Compliance is a threshold and also a moat. Sellers can only avoid losses and go further by adapting to new regulations in a timely manner.

What is TIC Direct Verification?

TIC Direct Verification is a compliance management measure launched by Amazon in collaboration with designated third-party testing agencies. Sellers are no longer allowed to upload compliance documents themselves but must instead have their products directly verified by an Amazon-recognized TIC agency and submit relevant materials. The introduction of this policy aims to enhance the authenticity and credibility of compliance information, ensure consumer safety, and reduce the risk of product removal or account restrictions due to compliance issues. On the Amazon platform, product compliance is not only related to consumer safety but also directly affects sellers' sales and account security. With Amazon's strict regulation of children's products and specific categories, the TIC Direct Verification program was born. TIC (Testing, Inspection, and Certification) refers to testing, inspection, and certification agencies recognized by Amazon. Through this program, sellers' compliance information must be directly uploaded to the Amazon backend by designated TIC agencies, and sellers are no longer allowed to upload it themselves.

Why is direct TIC verification needed?

The main purpose of direct TIC verification is to enhance compliance assurance, improve platform efficiency, and reduce the risk of violations. The audit by authoritative third-party institutions ensures the authenticity of test reports; a unified upload process reduces communication costs between sellers and the platform; at the same time, it minimizes the risk of product removal or account restrictions due to incorrect upload of materials. Even if sellers already have test reports that meet standards such as ISO17025, they must submit them through TIC institutions; otherwise, they cannot meet Amazon's compliance requirements.

What is TIC Direct Verification?

If you are an Amazon seller, you may have recently heard about the "TIC Direct Verification Program," but what exactly is it? Simply put, TIC (Testing, Inspection, and Certification) refers to testing, inspection, and certification agencies recognized by Amazon. The TIC Direct Verification Program is a new policy launched by Amazon in collaboration with these authoritative institutions, which requires that sellers' compliance information (such as test reports, DoC/CPC, etc.) must be directly uploaded to Amazon's backend by the TIC agency, rather than being submitted by the seller themselves. The introduction of this policy aims to enhance the compliance of products on the platform, ensure consumer safety, and reduce the risk of product removal or account suspension due to compliance issues for sellers. In other words, Amazon wants to ensure the safety, legality, and reliability of the products you sell through more stringent review mechanisms!

Why does Amazon implement TIC Direct Verification?

Enhance Compliance Assurance TIC agencies are third-party authoritative organizations rigorously screened by Amazon, and their reports or verification results are more professional and credible. Compared to documents uploaded by sellers themselves, this method can effectively eliminate false or non-compliant compliance materials. Reduce Communication Costs In the past, sellers had to prepare and upload compliance documents themselves, and any minor errors could result in rejection by the platform. Now, with TIC agencies uploading uniformly, the process is more standardized and efficient. Lower Risk of Non-Compliance If you upload non-compliant materials, you may face the risk of product removal, account restrictions, or even account suspension. TIC Direct Verification, through professional agency review, minimizes these issues to the greatest extent.

Can I still use my existing test report?

Many sellers ask, "Can I still use the test reports I paid for before?" The answer is: conditionally yes! If your report comes from a laboratory that meets international standards (such as ISO17025), it is theoretically still valid, but you cannot directly upload it to Amazon. You need to submit the report to a TIC agency for review and conversion into an Amazon-recognized format before uploading. If the report is not qualified, the TIC agency will also provide rectification suggestions to help you pass the compliance review smoothly.

What is the process of TIC Direct Verification?

Submit existing reports: Submit your test reports, compliance documents, etc., to the TIC agency. Review and Rectification: The TIC agency will check whether the documents meet Amazon's requirements, and if there are issues, they will provide rectification plans. Upload and Synchronize: After passing the review, the TIC agency will directly upload the compliance materials to Amazon's backend, completing the verification process.

Why can't I directly upload compliance materials?

Amazon's move is to ensure the authenticity and consistency of compliance information. Sellers who upload themselves may encounter formatting errors, standards mismatches, and other issues, while TIC agencies, as "middlemen," can ensure the authority of the materials and reduce disputes.
