Thank you so much for this incredibly helpful article! This explained it better than any other website I have found.

We are a North American seller expanding to the UK and use Amazon’s FNSKU labels here – can we continue using these barcodes in the UK or do we need to print out the FNSKU label from our UK listing?
Thanks!

In reply to Natalia. HI Natalia, Did your problem get solved? How did you get your proper FNSKU back to replace the ASIN? I am facing the same issue and my product is in the shipping phase.

In reply to Lisa Michele. Generally it's one or the other but if you use both it's not the end of the world.

I just got accepted to the Amazon FBA New Selection Program. I want to sell t-shirts and stickers for kids only. My brand is private label. Am I correct in understanding that I will need a Amazon bar code AND a GS1 barcode in order to sell using Amazon FBA? I am the manufacturer so I don’t have a manu code or ISBN. I have been waiting on Brand Registry and GTIN exemption for longer than I care to say.

In reply to Cameron Alessandrini. Yes we use GS1 for most of our products. We have some legacy products with non-GS1 barcodes. We're leaving them until it causes problems.

Hi Dave;

On April 7th, 2021, Amazon came out with this news:
APR 7, 2021
Reminder: Provide product IDs (GTINs) for listings.

I have been selling since 2017, and unfortunately have used 3rd party purchased barcodes for all of my listings. If I apply for the GTIN exemption and get approved, does that make all my pre-existing listings safe?

If not, what do you think the best course of action is here? I can afford to switch to GS1 now, but I have read that it is difficult to change pre-existing listings.

None of my products have been flagged by Amazon, but it seems they will start cracking down on this more.

Are you paying for GS1 with your current brand? Would you recommend just leaving my existing listings, and making new ones with GTIN exemption or GS1 codes? Or would you go back and attempt to update all the old ASIN’s to be compliant?

Thanks a lot, from a fellow Canadian seller!
