Can Plastic Food Containers be sold?

Hi,

I’m trying to figure out if it’s possible to sell disposable coffee cups or disposable plastic bento boxes。
If yes, will Amazon ask for any certification?
I wonder if it’s difficult to sell food containers on Amazon.
Thanks!

Not a short answer, but Amazon have this under their list of prohibited items:

    • Straws (except if they are medical devices);
      • Beverage straws made from soft-plastic are always prohibited even if described as re-usable
    • Beverage stirrers;
    • Balloon sticks for consumer use, including the mechanisms of such sticks;
    • Food containers made of expanded polystyrene, i.e. receptacles such as boxes, used to contain food, which (a) is intended for immediate consumption, either on-the-spot or take-away, (b) is typically consumed from the receptacle, and © is ready to be consumed without any further preparation, such as cooking, boiling or heating, including food containers used for fast food or other meal ready for immediate consumption
