FBA Shipments using Amazon Bar Codes
Hello,
I'm trying to send a shipment of cartons that have a upc on their packages but I would like to use Amazon barcodes FNSKU instead since this upc isnt on amazon.
Would this be fine or would this cause any issues when I send the shipment over to FBA, I want to make sure the warehouse will scan the Amazon barcode labels and not the UPC thats on the box.

Hi @Seller_tJd1CaSoE83Xv,
Thank you for reaching out on the Seller Forums!
Please note that Amazon barcodes should be used on products that meet the following conditions:
- They aren’t tracked via the manufacturer barcode.
- They’re in used condition.
- They don’t have a scannable UPC, EAN, JAN, or ISBN.
- They’re media products.
- They're a restricted or dangerous goods.
- They’re a consumable or topical product (such as a baby or infant product).
When placing Amazon barcodes on a product, you will want to make sure that you do the following:
- Put the correct barcode on each item.
- Cover all other visible barcodes, except for any serial number barcodes or Transparency authentication code labels.
- Make sure the barcode is scannable after applying any prep materials.
- Do not place the barcode on a curve or corner of the package.
- Allow 0.25 inch between the edge of the label and the edge of the packaging.
- Ensure that each item in a case pack has an Amazon barcode and that any barcodes on the case have been removed.
For more information on barcode requirements and best practices, I would encourage you to read through the following resources:
- Use Amazon barcodes to track inventory

I hope this helps! Please let me know if you have any additional questions.
All the best,
Jameson
