Amazon uses values provided by sellers to determine where listings appear in the Amazon catalog. If this information is missing or incorrect, customers will have a difficult time finding, comparing, and purchasing your products.
Note: There is a limitation in the customized inventory file templates identified in the Product Classifier compared to category-specific inventory file. These templates contain only those attributes that are deemed essential to improve the customer experience. See the table below.

Select your products' classifications, and download the file containing the values required to classify your listings.
-
Populate your inventory file template or XML feed with the values from the Product Classifier file and with other offer data.
