      Hello. If you're doing wholesale or arbritrage and the product already has a UPC on the packaging, then no you don't have to buy a UPC barcode, just use the UPC that's on it to add your inventory to the listing. However, I would still put the FNSKU on each unit before shipping it to Amazon.

    Thank you. This was a great video that was really helpful. I do have two questions.
    1. If we are the manufacturer and no one else should be selling our products, do you still recommend using the FNSKU? (I saw on Amazon's instructions that if you use manufacturer barcodes and no Amazon barcodes, you can save $0.11 per unit).
    2. What is the transparency authenticity code?

    • @CrescentKao
      @CrescentKao  6 месяцев назад +1

      You’re welcome! I’m glad you found it helpful. 1) Like I went over in the video, even I’m if you’re the manufacturer, it doesn’t mean you won’t get hijackers. In fact, I promise you that you will. If you don’t use the FNSKU, your inventory will get commingled with the hijackers.
      And you don’t want to use a GTIN exemption, it creates a tons of issues and hassle that it’s not worth it.
      2) This goes over transparency barcodes:

My supplier in China will be bundling a box gift set of 4 completely different beauty products (1 box unit with 4 different products inside). My question is will I need an individual UPC for each different beauty product inside (so 4 different UPC) as well as a separate UPC for the outside of the box set (as 1 unit) or just the 1 UPC for the box as my product listing and the 4 items inside are then absent of UPCs on them?

    I'm creating a new dietary supplement to be sold on Amazon. Obviously I will be the sole seller of it on Amazon. Since it is a consumable with an expiration I will need to have an FNSKU on it. When I create my listing should I set the FBA Product Barcode Preference to my UPC or the Amazon Barcode? Also, to save money can I print the FNSKU barcode directly on the product label instead of the UPC code?

      @CrescentKao yes I watched the video. Quantity variation units with identical product was not explained there. But as you said that each unit pack requires a separate UPC, which means that I need to buy 4 UPC.

    What if we are shipping the products ourselves, do we still need a UPC CODE.

      Yes. You need a UPC to create a product listing. This goes over it: ruclips.net/video/qwd4bxnXizA/видео.html

    Hi there. I am not brand registered. But I am having a hard time with the UPC. When I get the error it tells me to contact Amazon support. I do. I send the certificate and the screenshot of my error. They tell me I have prove my brand and I can’t. Because I’m not registered. I don’t know how to get a ASIN because I can’t get past the part to even list it or put in my drafts. I am shipping from alibaba to Amazon warehouse. So am I the manufacturer? And for the brand name should I be putting my personal name on the gs1 sight and my listing?

    Hey! So every product needs a UPC code, but since I want to use an FNSKU, we just need the FNSKU label printed on the packaging of the unit, not the UPC label. Correct or am I missing something? Thanks!

      Hello! That’s correct but you still need a UPC to create the product listing: ruclips.net/video/qwd4bxnXizA/видео.html

      If you're selling them separately, yes. I went over this in the video.
