Updating Country of Origin Information
We have been getting notification from Amazon that we need to update 'Country of Origin' information for our listings, or selling will be restricted.
However, I am totally unable to find out how to process this information in bulk. We have thousands of listings, so it is not at all feasible to check each listing one-by-one, but Amazon does not give a list of affected products.
Even the steps that they outline to work through this do not work, as they are full of outdated information, and broken links, telling us to use systems that are no longer available.
Does anyone know if there is a way to just download a Full Inventory spreadsheet, with the Country of Origin information, that we can then just bulk edit and upload? Or at least find a list of affected products?

can one of the admin investigate this issue,
@Julia_Amazon @Winston_Amazon @Ezra_Amazon @Sarah_Amzn
we have over 7000 sku,
I am guessing 3000 - 4000 will need a COO adding on, as the listings were created before it was a requirement (or even offered as a input box)

Yes, we had exactly the same message and when you click on the links in the message, the page doesn't exist.
I have tried to add this to a few listings, however we are not the brand owner or the person who created the listing, so amazon needs to accept my suggestions otherwise we are non compliant and will have our seller account limited for a fault thats not ours.
If amazon don't accept our inputs, what action do we have when they limit our ability to sell?
They need to be pointing this warning to the brand owners, not the people selling the product...
This is going to be a major issue as we have thousands of listings and 80% of the items we sell we cannot make this change so what happens if the brand owner doesn't update the listing?

I sell books and have recently posted about this issue "List Price with Tax and Country of Origin (books)" sorry I dont know how to create a link to this post.
I assume you sell DVDs and I think this may have the same problem as books. Since doing this post the "country of origin" button seems to have completely disappeared when doing new listings. When editing older listings it also seems to have disappeared.

There is one option, unfortunately not always useful
Go to "Upload Products & Inventory"
Get product template from "Update product details"
in the template you need to provide: Feed Product Type, copy SKU list from other spreadsheet if you have (for example if using FBA you can get if from FBA inventory spreadsheet), mark as Partial/Update, add Country of origin
