AMAZON AUTHENTICITY & INVOICES · UNITED KINGDOM
An authenticity complaint raises questions about where products came from and what documents support their sale. We help UK sellers organise legitimate records and prepare a consistent response.

Quick answer: An authenticity appeal responds to an Amazon concern that a product may not be genuine, usually backed by supplier invoices and traceable records. Start with the affected ASIN, the timeframe and the evidence Amazon requested. We help UK sellers organise genuine records; Amazon decides whether the evidence is acceptable.
An inauthentic-product concern is not always identical to a formal counterfeit allegation, and the wording matters. Review the notice closely, and seek legal guidance where trademark rights or accusations of infringement are contested.
Rather than submitting any available invoice, begin with the exact evidence Amazon has asked for. Related support: IP complaint appeals and suspension appeals.
Confirm the supplier’s name and details are clear and consistent.
Check: the same details appear across your records.
Documents should be complete, legible and unaltered.
Check: no missing pages or obscured details.
Purchase dates should fit the requested timeframe and your sales.
Check: invoice dates against order and delivery dates.
Descriptions should match the affected ASINs.
Check: model names, variants and pack sizes.
Purchased quantities should reasonably relate to the units you sold.
Check: stock records against invoice totals.
The relationship between purchased goods and affected ASINs should be traceable.
Check: a clear route from invoice to listing.

A reliable process links your documents in a chain. A good record set connects the following.
Purchase orders: what was ordered and when
Supplier invoices: who supplied the goods and what was invoiced
Delivery records: what arrived and when
Stock records: what you hold and sell
Listings: which ASIN each product relates to
Controlled storage: records kept in one place so gaps are found early
Please note: records must be genuine and unaltered. The validity of evidence is decided by Amazon; an agency cannot certify that Amazon will accept it.

Never replace missing records with fabricated ones.
Do not state unverified claims as confirmed.
Address only the questions relevant to the case.
