Walmart Category Approval Services – Get Your Products Approved on Walmart USA

Home » Walmart Category Approval Services

Walmart Marketplace is highly selective about the products it allows sellers to list. Certain categories require mandatory documentation, compliance checks, product testing, safety certifications, and manual approvals before the listings can go live.

For Indian sellers, meeting these requirements can be complicated – especially when dealing with U.S. regulatory standards, labeling norms, and Walmart’s internal compliance rules.
