Due to the continuous improvement of the entry threshold for investment promotion, it is the trend of the export e-commerce industry. Recently, some sellers operating lighting categories said that Amazon asked them to provide relevant certificates to prove the safety of some lighting products, otherwise the products would not be able to be sold normally in stores. Industry insiders said that this is likely to be a measure taken by Amazon to reduce the safety factor of products in order to prevent the large-scale sales of lamps during Christmas and New Year's Day. Amazon is very strict on flammable and explosive high-risk products. Last time, a seller's story about a scorched electric blanket almost caused a catastrophe. The central idea is: the safety monitoring technology is not up to standard, and high-risk products should not be touched!
