2020 Update Amazon GTIN Exemption, UPC codes, Brand Registry, IP Accelerator and branded packaging for Amazon

Amazon is making changes, yet again. This time, product bundling on Amazon is at the crosshairs due to policy changes on GTIN exemption listings. But Amazon policies seem different for everyone - while some sellers go ungated, others get error messages for the same receipts and invoices. We hear you: it’s like Amazon doesn’t even follow its own rules! The struggle is real, but you need to ensure that you are compliant when it comes to listing bundles on Amazon to scale your online business.

In this episode, we share an overview of Amazon bundling rules and policies, what’s changed, and what you can do to ensure your Amazon business is compliant. We explain what GTIN is and illustrate how changes to it can affect bundling. We share alternatives and solutions to GTIN exemption listing on Amazon and discuss how you can leverage your relationships with your Amazon vendors to get Universal Product Codes. We also discuss why Amazon makes these policy changes as well as explain how to sell on Amazon without using big brand names.

“Changes on GTIN exemptions now require you to have packaging. It’s part of Amazon wanting to make the whole buyer experience better for its end-users.” - Amy Feierman
