Yes, We Prep Swords: MyFBAPrep Has Your Back (And Your Blades)
Because sometimes your inventory can actually cut you.
Why You’re Suddenly on the Hook for Blades and Bayonets
On January 15, 2025, Amazon quietly lobbed a knife-shaped curveball at FBA sellers: starting April 14, 2025, Amazon will no longer prep sharp products for you. Sellers must arrive at the FC with every edge sheathed in “cut‑ and puncture‑resistant” armor—or risk immediate disposal and no reimbursement.
Translation? If it slices, dices, prunes, trims, carves, or looks vaguely medieval, Amazon wants nothing to do with the bubble wrap. That’s now your problem.
“After April 14, any sharp products that don’t meet the updated packaging requirements will be immediately disposed of at your expense.” — Amazon Seller Central
That escalated quickly.
So… What Exactly Is Sharp‑Object Prep?
- Edge & Point Coverage: Blades, tips, or shards must be fully enclosed. Think hard clamshells, blister packs, or rigid plastic guards—no flimsy poly bags.
- Puncture‑Proof Layering: Multiple layers that can’t be pierced by normal handling. If your kitchen shears can poke through, try again.
- Tamper‑Evidence: Tape, seals, or heat‑shrinks so the end customer isn’t unboxing a loose katana.
- Regulatory Labels: Legal symbols (biohazard, if applicable), suffocation warnings, country‑of‑origin, and anything your category police require.
Sound like a lot? It is. But it doesn’t have to be your headache.
