Marketplace update
Amazon Seller Central policy changes affecting Delaware LLCs in 2026
Amazon's 2026 seller-policy updates and how they affect non-resident Delaware LLC sellers.
Verification updates
Amazon expanded ID verification for non-US-resident sellers in 2025-2026. LLC Certificate of Formation, EIN confirmation letter, and passport scan now required for most non-resident registrations.
Match the LLC name on Seller Central to the Certificate of Formation exactly. Even minor differences trigger account holds.
Brand Registry
Federal trademark registration enables Amazon Brand Registry, providing additional anti-counterfeit tools. Trademark application timing: file early in product launch to enable Brand Registry as soon as registration is granted.
USPTO trademark applications take 8-14 months for uncontested approvals.
Sales tax
Amazon collects and remits sales tax in marketplace-facilitator states (most US states now). Seller-level reporting may still apply for non-MF states above nexus thresholds.
Sales tax automation (TaxJar, Avalara) makes compliance manageable at scale.
