Adult Signature to New York with the new Law Assembly Bill A5610D (URGENT)
Hello,
I've contacted Amazon support, and it appears Amazon has no system to comply with this new measure.
To offer some pretext, supplements marketed for weight loss or muscle building and/or containing certain ingredients synonymous with weight loss need to be age-verified upon delivery with a valid photo ID to confirm the recipient is at least 18 years of age or older.
It's important to note that thousands of supplements that fit this definition (such as Hydroxycut and BurnXT) in Amazon's marketplace and shipped via FBA, indicating the scale and scope of this compliance issue.
Does anyone have any solutions? Is there a way to remove NY completely from FBA shipments and/or a way to add adult signature?

What to Know About New York’s New Supplement Law Going into Effect this Month
What is the New York Law?
In October 2023, Governor Kathy Hochul signed A.5610/S.5823 into law to prohibit the sale of specific weight loss and muscle-building dietary supplements to New York consumers under eighteen. The law applies to retail stores in New York and requires these stores to verify a consumer’s age at the time of purchase.
Online retailers that ship products to New York must also use a method of shipping that requires a person over eighteen to sign for the package and provide proof of age to the mail carrier. This presents a unique challenge to online retailers as several mail carriers either do not offer age-gating for eighteen or charge a premium for these services.
Valid verification documents include an individual’s driver’s license, state ID, military ID or passport.
Who Does the Law Apply To?
The law applies to brick-and-mortar retail stores operating in the State of New York, such as pharmacies and grocery stores, and online retailers and vendors that accept orders placed by mail, telephone, electronic mail, internet website, online catalog or software application from persons in New York.
Due to the breadth of the law, covered products could include not just products that expressly state they are for weight loss or muscle building but could include products based on their ingredients, how they are marketed to consumers or even what retail shelf they are placed on.
