Selling your products on Amazon can sometimes require a GTIN (Global Trade Item Number) exemption. This article explains how to obtain a GTIN exemption as a Spreadconnect merchant, including steps for selling products under the "Spreadconnect" brand or a different brand name.
What is a GTIN exemption?
A GTIN exemption allows sellers to list products on Amazon without providing standard product identifiers like UPCs (Universal Product Codes). This is particularly useful for private-label products or items that don’t have barcodes.
