Hi @Seller_jFg1FvYyWSp7o,
Thank you for reaching out with your question about selling pimple patches on Amazon. As a new seller, understanding the requirements for different product categories can be challenging, but I'm here to help provide some clarity.
Based on the previous comments, it seems that your pimple patch product may be classified as a natural health product (NHP) or drug product in Canada. These types of products are subject to regulations under the Food and Drugs Act and require a license from Health Canada, as well as compliance with labeling requirements and the terms of their market authorization.
To sell your pimple patch product on Amazon in Canada, you will likely need to obtain a DIN (Drug Identification Number) or NPN (Natural Product Number) from Health Canada. This number serves as a product license and must be clearly displayed on the product labeling, along with the ingredient list.
Additionally, any claims made about the product's efficacy or intended use must comply with the terms of the product's market authorization. For example, if the pimple patches claim to treat, heal, or prevent acne, they may be subject to stricter regulations as a drug product.
I understand that navigating these regulations can be daunting, especially for new sellers. To help you further, I'd recommend reviewing the following resources:
Health Canada's Natural Health Products website: This website offers detailed information on the regulations and licensing process for natural health products in Canada.
Health Canada's Cosmetic Ingredient Hotlist: l If your pimple patch product is considered a cosmetic, you'll want to ensure that any ingredients used are not on the Hotlist of prohibited or restricted ingredients.
If you have any further questions or need additional assistance, please don't hesitate to reach out. As a community manager, I'm here to support you and ensure you have the resources and information needed to successfully sell your products on Amazon while complying with relevant regulations.
