Preparing for Amazon's Meltable Product Policy in 2026

Each year, during the warmer months, Amazon places a restriction on meltable products being sold through their platform. This is because Amazon warehouses temperatures can reach 155F°, which is too warm for “meltable”, heat-sensitive goods, such as wax or gummy-based products. Amazon requires sellers to remove meltable products prior to the deadline of April 20, 2026. Sellers can confirm if Amazon considers their products to be meltable by downloading the list of meltable ASINs. If you believe your product was wrongly classified, you can dispute it with proof that your product can withstand high temperatures.
