Prep requirements: the prep Amazon has on file, per listing
Amazon keeps a prep category for each FBA listing, and since January 1, 2026 it no longer preps units for sellers in the US. Prep requirements shows the category Amazon has on file for each of your listings, lets you change it, and saves the change on your Amazon account.
