GTIN exemption request

Hi, I hope you are well,

I hope you can help me.

I do not know what I'm doing wrong.

I have several questions:

1. What can I do if my GTIN exemption request does not appear on the authorization applications?

2. How do I know what steps to follow, if when I carry out the same GTIN exemption request process again, the GTIN exemption request that I just made is not seen?

Below I explain my process.

On January 5, I made the GTIN exemption request. When I made the request, I received the following message:

• Authorization required for brand name: You have entered a brand name that we have not authorized. You have to request permission to publish products with this brand name.

• Requires UPC exemption: You have entered that the product does not have a product identifier. To publish this product without an identifier, you must request authorization.

I selected “apply to sell” they send me the following message:

• Brands require approval

To authorize your GTIN exemption request, we also need to authorize your trademarks. You can apply for brand authorization and GTIN exemption at the same time. To do this, send the following request.

When filling out the requested fields, the following message arrives:

• Authorization request for Catalog Authorization

Thank you for sending us your authorization request.

Our approximate response deadline is January 8, 2024

Check the status of your application.

When checking the application status.

• GTIN Request: There is no process.

• Catalog authorization: Under review.

Amazon has a dysfunctional problem with GTIN exemptions. Five years ago, they were easy to get. But now, with so many knockoffs and fake products on the site, they are not approving exemptions.

What you are seeing is Jeff Bezos way of saying No, you are not going to get one. The reply basically tells you everything needed to sell someone else's brand. And if they really a brand with UPC's basically you can just list them.

Letters of Authorizations, the trick request by Amazon.

Did you notice that Amazon always asks for a manufacturer’s letter of authorization? Amazon knows how businesses are operated.

If you have a commercial retailers account with a manufacturer, your invoice will suffice. You will not need a Letter of Authorization because the invoice says it all. If you really need a letter, your manufacturer Rep handling your account could get one for you.

If you do not actually have a commercial account with the manufacturer, Amazon knows companies will not give any letter of authorization to individuals without a commercial account.

So instead of saying no, Amazon makes things so complicated, Sellers just give up.

Good Morning @Seller_Tgw7fmP6ojaMP, I just wanted to check in with you to see how your GTIN exception application process was going? I do see that @Seller_CW0P5hgbsiqWX was providing some advise above. Have you heard from the team since then? Happy to review any CASE IDs you have filed with Selling Partner Support related to this issue if you have then on hand. Looking forward to hearing from you soon. Until then, have a great weekend. 😊 Sincerely, Cooper_Amazon
