Professional Notes for FBA Sellers
🚨 CRITICAL AMAZON AUTHORIZATION WARNING —
Faber-Castell USA explicitly states on their
own website that ONLY specific named companies
are authorized Amazon resellers in the USA:
Altman Luggage Co., Blick Art Materials,
Hyatt's All Things Creative, Jerry's Artarama,
Lifelong Collectables, National Art Supply,
Pen Place, and Plaza Artist Materials. Any
third-party FBA seller NOT on this list risks
warranty issues and potential Amazon brand
gating — verify current authorized seller
status before proceeding

⚠️ URL NOTED — fabercastell.com is the USA-
specific site. For UK directory purposes,
the brand operates globally but UK-specific
trade enquiries should be directed through
faber-castell.com (global HQ) rather than
the USA subsidiary

✅ Always request authorization letter LOA
and confirm invoices show your registered
business name for Amazon compliance —
especially important given the brand's
explicit authorized reseller policy

✅ The Emerald Dealer programme gives a
confirmed, named trade access pathway —
start here for wholesale account applications

✅ 264-year heritage, Van Gogh and Karl
Lagerfeld endorsements, and FSC certification
give genuinely exceptional, multi-layered
trust content for Amazon listings
