DG Storage Limit
First, my essential oils inventory was reclassified as a hazardous material, and then my allowable limit for flammable storage was reduced. As a result, I can no longer send inventory to FBA.
To my knowledge, there are currently no restrictions on essential oils in retail packaging. However, hazmat regulations do apply to certain essential oils if they are shipped in bulk quantities exceeding 500 kg.

Check the MSDS sheet for the product for storage and transport restrictions. If there aren't any, then upload the document to Amazon for them to reclassify it.

Hey @Seller_q19IEWXCmwL4Vand @Seller_7LrAV0m5llaI7, what a nice interaction you had! Thank you both for the detailed discussion regarding the classification issue with the essential oils inventory. It's helpful to have the context and understand the steps taken so far.
@Seller_7LrAV0m5llaI7, your suggestion to upload the SDS through the compliance dashboard on Seller Central is a sound next step. Submitting the official documentation directly to Amazon is likely the best way to get their team to review and potentially reclassify the product correctly.
@Seller_q19IEWXCmwL4V, it seems you have already taken the right approach by reviewing the SDS for the product, which indicates it is "Not Regulated" and does not have specific storage requirements. If you have not already done so, I would encourage you to follow JPart2's guidance and upload the SDS as soon as possible. Providing that clear evidence from the manufacturer should strengthen your case for having the classification updated.
If after submitting the SDS you continue to face challenges or lack of resolution from Amazon, please feel free to reach out again. We would be happy to further assist in escalating the matter or exploring additional options.
