At Arbitrage Hero, we’re constantly working to make your sourcing process more efficient, seamless, and safe. One of the challenges sellers face, especially on platforms like Amazon, is dealing with Hazmat-restricted products. These products, classified as hazardous materials, can come with extra fees, restrictions, or shipping complications. To help you navigate these issues with ease, we’re excited to introduce our latest feature:
🚫 Hazmat Indication: A Game-Changer for Safer, Smarter Sourcing 🚫
With the new Hazmat Indication feature, you can now quickly and easily identify Hazmat-restricted products directly within Arbitrage Hero. This new label appears next to the product ASIN on your results page, allowing you to instantly see whether a product falls under hazardous material restrictions. No more surprises or delays!
Why Hazmat Matters
Hazmat items include products that are classified as hazardous materials by various regulations, including:
- Flammable goods
- Corrosive materials
- Compressed gases
- And more…
While these products can still be sold on many platforms, they often come with added complexities, such as:
- Special storage requirements
- Additional shipping restrictions
- Higher fulfillment fees
- Ineligibility for certain marketplaces or fulfillment options
If you’re not careful, sourcing Hazmat items can lead to unwanted surprises like higher costs or even blocked listings.
How Hazmat Indication Works
We’ve made this new feature simple and straightforward:
- When you’re reviewing your product results, you’ll see a Hazmat label displayed right next to the ASIN for any products that are classified as hazardous materials.
- This allows you to quickly assess whether you want to move forward with that product or avoid the potential complications Hazmat products can bring.
With Hazmat Indication, you’ll have all the critical information you need right at your fingertips—helping you stay compliant and avoid the hassle of dealing with restricted products.
Why This Feature is a Game-Changer for Sellers
1. Save Time:
No more digging into product details to figure out whether an item is Hazmat-restricted. The Hazmat indicator provides an at-a-glance overview, so you can skip over problematic products instantly.
2. Avoid Extra Fees:
Selling Hazmat products can often lead to additional fulfillment or shipping fees. By identifying these products early, you can make informed sourcing decisions and avoid unexpected costs.
3. Stay Compliant:
Selling restricted Hazmat items without the proper preparation can result in penalties or bans on certain selling platforms. With this feature, you can quickly avoid items that could cause compliance issues down the line.
