Can I sell electronics on Amazon, and what do I need?

In one line

Yes, if the device follows the FCC's rules. Amazon's listing asks for the FCC ID. A self-declared device (SDoC) gives its US responsible party instead. Lithium-powered smart home and consumer electronics also need $1M of insurance before you list.

What does that look like for one device?

Say you sell a Bluetooth speaker with a lithium battery on Amazon. The listing needs the FCC field filled in. You upload the battery's UN 38.3 test summary when you set up the ASIN, plus Amazon's battery exemption sheet, and you need $1M of insurance before you list.

What's the next step?

The plan lists every step for your product in order, with a source for each line. It opens with Amazon and the product type already picked, and you can change either. It's free, with no signup.
