Do I really need a UPC Code for Amazon? |
|
It's true! Amazon.com now requires barcode numbers for
the products you plan to sell on their site. If
Amazon.com is also distributing your product, they also
require the
barcode graphic
which represents your number. Almost all items require UPC codes. Notable exceptions are books, which can have either ISBN barcodes or UPC codes or better yet both, as recommended by our company and acknowledged by the ISBN agency. |
|
What types of Barcodes does Amazon accept? |
|
Amazon accepts your choice of either UPC codes or EAN codes (which are the retail barcodes used on products sold outside of the USA and Canada). | |
Does Amazon really accept your UPC codes? |
|
Yes, they do! As of June 2017, Amazon has finally implemented a campaign to (spot) check the validity of UPC numbers for product listings. They state “We verify authenticity of product UPCs by checking the GS1 database.” We very much welcome this effort as it helps eliminate fake, duplicate, and hijacked UPC numbers from the Amazon system and protects you as a seller. We have many thousands of clients selling on Amazon. 100% of the few clients who have been audited by Amazon to date have passed their audit and continue to sell there successfully. If you are one of the select few who will be audited either upon initial listing or at a later time, we stand ready with the proper documentation to assure proof of legitimacy of your UPC codes to Amazon’s auditors. Contact our office in charge of compliance with any questions. |

What do I need to know about Brand Registry Listings? |
|
Brand Registry listing is a far more complex process than a standard listing. It requires lots of time and documentation of all types about your company, trademarks, products, etc. The requirements for UPC codes have become more stringent for this program and you are almost guaranteed to be asked to provide documentation on your codes. We can provide documentation for our codes and, so far, have succeeded on getting our clients’ brand registry listings approved nearly across the board. Still, since there are no guarantees of approval, you may find it advisable to lease a GS1 company prefix first and then have us create your UPC Codes from it for use on brand registry listings. | |

How do UPC Barcodes for Amazon work? |
|
As you can imagine, since Amazon distributes so many items
through their fulfillment centers with each item handled
numerous times there is room for error. Amazon aims to
increase accuracy, speed up the time needed to get your
product in the hands of buyers, and streamline
inventory/sales reporting by adopting barcodes across the
board. In that spirit, we aim to help you meet their UPC barcode requirement by offering new Amazon sellers UPC code advice. At the end of this page, please find a detailed compliance guideline for working with Amazon.
