Amazon FBA tag is very important. The reason why Amazon warehouse employees (or robots) can accurately find the seller's products from a large number of commodity inventories is the product ID and label.
Blueocean Yiguan has learned that Amazon FBA tags are divided into two types. In other words, you can choose one of the two barcodes.
1. Barcode of manufacturer
Using the manufacturer's barcode means that the seller uses its ownGTIN code(UPC or EAN code)The seller does not need to do other labeling work, and the entire supply chain remains relatively simple, especially when sellers open stores on multiple e-commerce platforms.
Products that use the manufacturer's barcode are also called stickerless products because they do not need other labels.
However, if the manufacturer's barcode is used for the FBA inventory, the seller is required to mix the inventory, which means that,All products stored in Amazon warehouse and using the same UPC will be stored together, which may cause many problems between unauthorized sellers and fake sellers.
In addition to mixing with fakes, if the seller's products have quality problems or are inconsistent with other sellers, it is basically impossible to trace the root cause of the quality problems.
Even if there is a problem with the product details page of the seller and other competitors, and everyone uses the manufacturer's barcode, resulting in mixed inventory, Amazon cannot distinguish the products of each seller.
In other words, if multiple sellers sell the same product, they all use the manufacturer's barcode, and the inventory is mixed,Amazon may use the inventory of other sellers to deliver the orders of this sellerIf the inventory of other sellers is closer to the receiving address of consumers.
This may also happen when the inventory is removed from Amazon warehouse due to quality problems or other reasons. That is, the removed inventory may not be the same batch that the seller originally sent to Amazon warehouse.
If the above conditions can be accepted, the manufacturer's barcode can be used directly. In order to meet specific compliance requirements, the product must:
a. In a new state
b. There is only one barcode that can be scanned, and it matches the ASIN in Amazon directory system one-to-one
c. No expiry date
d. Not consumables or local products, such as skin cream, shower gel or cosmetics
e. Not a dangerous product
2. Amazon barcode
If the seller places the inventory in the Amazon FBA warehouse and chooses to use the Amazon barcode as the product labelGenerate FNSKU code, the full name is Fulfillment Network Stock Keeping Unit, starting with "X0".
FNSKU code is a unique Amazon FBA product identification code,Only the goods delivered to Amazon warehouse can be available.
The advantage of Amazon FNSKU barcode is that,It can not only identify a product, but also identify every seller。 That is to say, if the seller is faced with product accusation or fake listings, it can easily distinguish its own inventory from other sellers' inventory of the same product, without confusion.
If a consumer order is received, the goods sent by Amazon are the seller's own inventory, not the inventory of other sellers (the same type of goods).
Blueocean Yiguan has learned that some categories or product categories must use Amazon barcodes and must comply with the regulations:
a. Products with shelf life
b. Consumables
c. Local and external products, such as skin cream, shower gel and cosmetics
d. Products that have been packaged but cannot be scanned by the original barcode
In addition, if a product listing has two (or more) UPC codes, Amazon barcode must be used.
To sum up,Recommend the seller to use Amazon FNSKU barcodeAt this time, you must attach the FNSKU tag to the existing UPC code, either by yourself or by giving it to the Amazon team for $0.3.
The Amazon system is set to operate as follows:
a. Log in to the background of Amazon Seller Center
b. Go to Settings>Fulfillment by Amazon
c. Navigate to Optional Services and click Edit
d. Under Who Labels, select Amazon and click Save
Remember, you must change this setting before creating the FBA shipment plan. If you set it later, you will need to re create the shipment plan.
FNSKU Label Prerequisites:
a. There should be enough space around the Amazon barcode and related text (0.125 inches above and below, 0.25 inches left and right)
b. ASIN code or FNSKU code
c. Product name
