Online marketplaces have become critical channels for manufacturers of industrial, institutional and cleaning products. But hazardous materials present unique challenges when sold through ecommerce platforms like Amazon and Walmart.
These products must not only meet DOT, EPA and OSHA standards, but also retailer-specific packaging and labeling requirements such as GS1 barcodes and UCC labeling. Noncompliance can result in rejected inventory, delayed deliveries or safety risks in transit.
With over 85 years of toll manufacturing experience, Royal Chemical has helped clients navigate this complexity with compliant, scalable solutions tailored for ecommerce.
Manufacturers must comply with overlapping regulatory and platform requirements when preparing hazardous materials for online distribution.
DOT: Packaging and shipping rules based on hazard classes
EPA: Chemical registration and labeling requirements
OSHA: Hazard communication standards like GHS and SDS formatting
Amazon and Walmart: Both sellers have additional rules like GS1 barcode compliance, UCC labeling, and RFID tracking
This complex environment requires careful coordination between regulatory standards and ecommerce fulfillment expectations. Royal Chemical supports both areas, ensuring your product is ready for digital shelves and compliant with all applicable regulations.
Labeling is a primary reason products are rejected by Amazon, Walmart or freight carriers. Incomplete, incorrect or noncompliant labels can result in shipping delays, safety concerns or costly inventory write-offs.
Royal Chemical ensures all required labels, at the unit, case and pallet level, are applied correctly to spec. Additionally, our in-house regulatory support team stays current on evolving platform requirements, like Walmart’s RFID mandates and Amazon’s Hazmat Program.
