Specifying hazardous material related information

The Regulatory.Hazmat container is used by the seller to add hazardous material related information to the listing. Three fields are required to complete the Hazmat section of a listing: Pictograms, SignalWord, and Statements. The fourth field in the container, Component, is optional (not required to complete the Hazmat section of a listing).

Fields that apply to hazardous material listings are contained in different APIs. See API field relationships for details.

Note: The codes and sample values contained in this topic are provided as examples and are subject to change. Use the getHazardousMaterialsLabels method in the Metadata API for the latest supported values.
