GTIN/UPC Exemptions and How to Handle Them - Brand Approval
Requesting a GTIN/UPC Exemption
The majority of products listed on Amazon require a GTIN, or something similar, like a UPC. As a POD seller, you can request an exemption from this rule.
In Seller Central, under Catalog, click Add a Product.
Under the text that says "Apply for GTIN Exemption," select your category.
You will be asked for evidence of why your product does not require a UPC. You might attach images showing your print-on-demand process or write out a description of how it works, for instance.
What Is Brand Approval, and Why Is It Important?
Brand approval is how Amazon makes sure that a seller selling some sort of branded product has the legal right to use that brand name. This cuts down on listings for counterfeit goods and builds a very high degree of trust in customers.
How to Apply for Brand Approval
Go to Seller Central, and click Brands > Brand Registry.
Fill in your brand name, log, and trademark registration number.
Proof of association with your brand-product photos, labels, or packaging.
What is the Amazon Launch Cashback Program?
The Amazon Launch Cashback Program is an incentive put in place to foster the entry and growth of new sellers on the platform. In this way, with this program, eligible sellers get cashback rewards on some fees in their first months on Amazon by decreasing operating costs.
How does it work?
