Hi Vijay,
This does not look like a simple approval issue to me. It looks more like the ASIN may be sitting in the wrong UK product type / browse path.
Amazon’s own UK guidance says that ASINs with **≤0.5% ABV** should normally be listed under **Grocery**, with the **ABV shown clearly in the title and in the alcohol-content attribute**. ASINs with **>0.5% ABV** fall under **Beer, Wine & Spirits** and follow the alcohol-selling requirements.
So if this product is a non-alcoholic spirit at **0.5% ABV or below**, category approval alone may not fix it, because the system may still be trying to treat the ASIN as **Beer & Wine / Other rp_3p_offer** instead of a Grocery item. Amazon also provides a separate process to request a **category or browse-path change**, which suggests these are not always the same problem.
I would check these points carefully:
* exact **ABV**
* whether the title clearly states the **ABV**
* whether the **alcohol-content attribute** is completed
* whether the ASIN is mapped to the correct **UK browse node / product type**
* whether the German listing data has carried over a product classification that does not fit the UK rules
If the ABV is **≤0.5%**, I would open a case asking specifically for **product type / browse node correction**, not just category approval. I would also mention that the product is already active in Germany, that you hold the relevant approvals, and that the current UK error appears inconsistent with Amazon’s own guidance for low- or no-alcohol products.
In other words, the visible error is “we are not accepting applications,” but the hidden issue may be that Amazon has classified the ASIN into the wrong UK listing path.
I think that is the part Seller Support needs to investigate.
