WFS hazmat items on hold

When you convert your items to WFS, items that you or our systems have identified as potentially containing hazardous materials will be put in an "On Hold" status for further review by our Compliance team. You would receive an error that your item is "Under Hazmat Review" while converting to WFS for those items.

Use Hazmat Items On Hold API to check the review progress of the "On Hold" items. There are three statuses for on-hold items:

1. "IN_REVIEW": The item is under compliance review for up to 72 business hours.

2. "ACTION_NEEDED": Invalid data are identified in your item setup submission. Call the Hazmat Items on Hold API, identify the error and attribute related to the error in the "description" and "field," correct it, and re-submit the item(s) using Convert items for WFS API.
