Planning to sell your products North America?
Please note: EAN-13 barcodes should work in North America but only if the retailer's system is set up to take 13-digit numbers. Please check. If not, you’ll need a 12-digit US barcode (a UPC widely accepted there and globally).
GS1 members; complete the form below or call us (there will be an extra cost for these).

Just starting out, testing the market and possibly don’t need a full membership yet? To license barcodes and location numbers as an Affiliate, you:
- Have a very limited product range and need just a few barcodes. Note: for each product, you may need more than one barcode; one for an individual product, a carton/case or a pallet.
