Summary
Product Lot Code section restructured and moved within FBT Packaging Policy. No new requirements added; all lot code mandates (readable codes, Merchant Portal entry, same-code cartons, label matching) were pre-existing. Content now clearer and reorganized.
Why it matters
This is a presentation-only reorganization with no new compliance obligations for FBT sellers. Existing lot code requirements for ingestible products and select beauty items remain unchanged. No new enforcement triggers or behavioral changes introduced.
Recommended action
Review reorganized section for internal reference; no operational changes needed. Confirm your FBT shipments already comply with pre-existing lot code requirements (clear codes, Portal entry, carton uniformity, label matching).
Ingestible products for human or animal consumption
Select personal care and beauty products, including but not limited to: Sunscreen Acne treatments Hand sanitizers
Each item must have a clear and readable lot code printed on its packaging by the manufacturer.
When creating inbound shipments in the FBT Merchant Portal (your central hub for managing FBT operations), you must enter the correct lot code for each item.
Each carton may contain only products with the same lot code.
The lot code printed on the carton label must match both the individual product packaging and the information entered in the Merchant Portal.
