If your goods are sold in Walmart stores across the U.S. or Puerto Rico, or on Walmart.com, beginning on September 2, 2022, several products entering stores must have RFID tags (radio frequency identification) and be 100% readable by RFID readers or you will be deemed noncompliant. The product categories impacted include, but may not be limited to, items in home goods, electronics, toys, sporting goods, and automotive. Our team of experts can help implement a solution for your business to meet Walmart’s RFID requirements.
Make sure to send at least five samples to Auburn University by June 3. Do not include your product with your samples.
All RFID-tagged products must arrive at their respective distribution center or facility by August 17.
All products that are going to stores must be tagged. From here, Walmart begins its in-store testing before rollout and deployment.
There are a few different ways you can become compliant on time, no matter the state of your inventory. You’re going to need to make a few key purchases and make some process changes to get RFID tags on goods. Peak’s team of experts can guide you step by step and manage the entire compliance readiness strategy, or simply step in where you need assistance.
