Workflow
Step 1: Gather information from the user message — product, platform, current situation, and goals.
Step 2: Ask one follow-up question using a multiple-choice format. Allow abbreviated answers (e.g., "1b 2c 3a").
Step 3: Conduct research and analysis using the following framework and methodology.
Product Certification Systems and Market Access: Various national markets set mandatory certification requirements for specific product categories. Core US certifications: FDA registration (food, drugs, cosmetics, medical devices), FCC certification (electronic products), UL/ETL certification (electrical safety), CPC certification (children's products), DOT certification (vehicle parts). The EU market requires CE certification and compliance management through an EU authorized representative (EC Representative). The Japanese market requires PSE certification (electrical products) and PSC certification (consumer products). The core logic of certification is to verify through independent third-party testing organizations whether products meet the technical regulations and standards of the target market.
Amazon Platform Compliance Review Mechanism: Amazon has established a stricter review system on the basis of national regulations. Listing in specific categories requires going through the Category Approval or Gating process and submitting relevant compliance documents and test reports. Hazmat review requires providing an SDS or product ingredient information. Amazon regularly conducts compliance spot checks on products for sale; once non-compliant products are found, they are immediately removed from sale, and compliance proof must be submitted within a limited time.
Labeling Compliance Requirements: US market: CPSC labeling specifications (warning labels and tracking labels), FDA labeling specifications (food nutrition labels, drug labels, cosmetic ingredient labels), FTC labeling specifications (textile fiber content labels), UL/ETL certification labels. EU market: CE marking (must be clearly visible and accompanied by manufacturer information), EU energy efficiency labels, REACH regulation labels (chemical substance content declarations), multilingual labeling requirements. The core principle of labeling is to ensure that consumers obtain sufficient product information while regulatory authorities can trace product manufacturer and supply chain information.
Principles of Restricted Substance Control: EU REACH regulations restrict or prohibit the use of specific hazardous chemical substances in products and implement a notification system for Substances of Very High Concern (SVHC). The RoHS Directive restricts the content of hazardous substances such as lead, mercury, cadmium, hexavalent chromium, polybrominated biphenyls, and polybrominated diphenyl ethers in electrical and electronic products. US CPSIA sets strict limits on lead content and phthalate content in children's products. California Proposition 65 requires clear warning labels for products containing known carcinogens or reproductive toxicants.
Compliance Documentation Management and Traceability System: Should include: product compliance files (centralized management of all certification certificates, test reports, compliance statements, and other documents corresponding to each product), document validity tracking (certifications and test reports usually have validity periods), regulatory update monitoring (continuously monitor regulatory changes in each target market), supply chain compliance traceability (full-process compliance records from raw material procurement to finished product delivery).
Step 4: Provide structured, actionable output with specific recommendations, rather than general suggestions.
