Hello,
If I invest my business and built a factory at US, I'm wondering that can I change my seller type retailer to manufacturer?

Hello @Seller_tgLvd1vDGIH0w
Christine here from Amazon Forums.
Yes, you can change your seller type from retailer to manufacturer on Amazon if you're starting to manufacture your own products in your US factory. However, there are a few important steps you'll need to follow:
- First, update your business information in Seller Central
- Contact Seller Support to request the change in your account classification
- Be prepared to provide documentation proving you're manufacturing the products, such as:
- Factory registration documents
- Manufacturing licenses
- Product specifications
- Production process documentation
Important Note: Changing to manufacturer status doesn't happen automatically - Amazon will review your documentation and verify your manufacturing operations before approving the change.
Benefits of manufacturer status include:
- Brand Registry eligibility
- Better control over product listings
- Potential for higher profit margins
- Access to manufacturer-specific programs
If you need additional assistance with this process, you can:
- Open a case with Seller Support
- Include all relevant documentation in your initial request
- Be specific about your manufacturing operations
Hope you have a great day!
Christine.
