For eligible products that require an Amazon
barcode, you can have Amazon apply those barcode labels for you for
a per-item fee.
Eligibility
Products that are eligible for the FBA Label Service include the
following:
-
Condition: Any (new, used, collectible, refurbished)
-
Product type: Any (media and non-media)
-
Not prohibited, restricted, or high-value
-
Have a single scannable barcode (GCID, UPC, EAN, JAN, or ISBN)
that corresponds to an ASIN in Amazon’s online catalog.
Note: GCIDs can no longer be used in place of a UPC, EAN, JAN, or ISBN
to create ASINs. If your brand has been approved for
Amazon Brand Registry and
you don’t have UPCs, EANs, JANs, or ISBNs for your products, you can apply for a
GTIN
exemption
Important: If the product doesn’t have a manufacturer barcode, an
Amazon barcode label must be applied to the item.
Amazon will, at our sole discretion, determine which products meet the eligibility
requirements for the FBA Label Service. We reserve the right to disqualify products from
this service that otherwise meet the above requirements.
