My yearly GS1 barcode renewal is due but I don't plan on using any new codes this year

Sell On Amazon Listing Management & Reports

Hello people,

I assume the products I have already listed on Amazon with old GS1 barcodes will still be ok or will the codes be deactivated if I don’t renew?

Thanks in advance for any replies

You need to keep paying. My listings generating six figures were closed I think because I didn’t renew the GS1 subscription

I had the same issue. I decided the couple of old listings don’t do enough to justify the cost.

Amazon will remove them eventually. I would imagine all the other sellers on the listing will be puzzled resulting in lots of Seller Support cases. The replies will obviously be nonsense.

Unfortunately, you need to keep paying GS1 to keep barcodes they gave you

You can avoid this by applying for a GTIN exemption on your products retrospectively to avoid your listings being pulled down at any moment.
