• All products that are listed for sale on Walmart.com must comply with any applicable local, state, and federal laws and regulations.
• All product labels, information and images in a Walmart.com listing must be in English and must not contain any conflicting information.

• Reselling certain products from other online marketplaces. You must own the items you sell on Walmart.com and have the licensing rights to sell any branded products.
• Walmart will remove any product listing that may be incompatible with its brand or that violates law, this policy and the Walmart Marketplace Seller Retailer Policies. Corrective actions may be taken as circumstances dictate, including suspending or terminating your Marketplace account.  
  

All Walmart Marketplace sellers are responsible for being aware of and compliant with all policies, rules and guidelines. Not all prohibited product categories or territories may be listed here. Walmart reserves the right to remove any product category in any Walmart Marketplace Prohibited Products Policy without notice.

How Walmart manages prohibited products

Walmart reserves the right to unpublish and remove any items that infringe on our Prohibited Products Policies. Walmart also retains the authority to manage your inventory when we have these items in our custody, when mandated by law enforcement or regulatory agencies, or as we deem necessary at our sole discretion.  

We may contact you about returning prohibited products that we have in our custody. If we don’t receive a response from you within five days, Walmart or Walmart Fulfillment Services (WFS) may return, destroy, dispose of or otherwise manage the prohibited products in a way that we find suitable, at our sole discretion. Any expenses incurred from this will be your responsibility. Other conditions may apply to any product that is recalled or withdrawn.
