The Bulk Restriction Checker identifies products from your ASINs list whether you can add those ASINs to your Amazon inventory without any restrictions. The verification takes place for a specific Amazon Seller Account. Amazon selling restrictions, also known as gating, determine whether a seller can list a specific ASIN for sale.
The tool only accepts ASINs – other identifiers like EAN/UPC codes are not directly supported. If your list includes EAN/UPC codes instead of ASINs, you can use the Price List Analyzer tool to check the restrictions.
Note
In order to use Bulk Restriction Checker in your Seller Assistant account you need to connect your Amazon Seller Account.

If an error occurred during analysis, you will see yellow circle with an exclamation mark.
If there are restrictions on the sale of an ASIN, then you will see a red closed padlock.
If your Amazon account is not suitable for selling an ASIN, then you will see a red closed padlock with an exclamation mark.
If there are no restrictions, then you will see a green padlock.
You can also hover over the icons and you will see the explanations for each of them.
