March updates to Listing attribute usage and enumeration values

March 6th, 2024 by AndieC_Amazon

Starting March 24, 2024, Amazon will make further updates to the attribute usage and enumeration values of numerous product types across several marketplaces. These adjustments are critical to improve the listing experience, as we work to eliminate redundant attributes and only curate attributes and enumeration values that are relevant to the corresponding product type.

Refer to March 2024 Listings Items API Product Type Changes for a full list of affected product types and changes.

Which marketplaces are affected?

This change applies to the following marketplaces:

  • Canada (CA)
  • United States (US)
  • Mexico (MX)
  • Brazil (BR)
  • Spain (ES)
  • United Kingdom (UK)
  • France (FR)
  • Netherlands (NL)
  • Germany (DE)
  • Italy (IT)
  • Sweden (SE)
  • Poland (PL)
  • Egypt (EG)
  • Turkey (TR)
  • Saudi Arabia (SA)
  • United Arab Emirates (AE)
  • India (IN)
  • Singapore (SG)
  • Australia (AU)
  • Japan (JP)

Who is affected?

Both private and public developers using the Listings API and JSON_LISTINGS_FEED feed type to create and edit products with offers are affected by this change. Product-only listings and XSD/XML feed uploads are not affected by this change.

What action is required?

These changes will take effect when you create or edit listings for products with offers. This change requires you to provide values for the newly added attributes with required usage. For attributes with optional usage, you can choose to provide values. You can choose to use an enumeration from the new list in the dropdown values for attributes if the new enumeration is more relevant to the product they are selling.
