Manufacturer barcode not accepted because there is a product expiry date?
Hi,
My products have manufacturer barcodes from GS1. Amazon listing says that I will need to print and paste FNSKU on all product items because manufacturer barcode is not used if there is an expiry date on the product.
I have 4000 bottles and printing and pasting 4000 FNSKU is impractical because of tiem and cost but also there is hardly any space on the bottles and if any information gets covered, it will lose Health Canada's compliance as well when sold.
What do I do? How can I make my my manufacturer barcode accepted at Amazon. Thank you

Sounds like you have to polybag the items and put the label on the outside of the polybag.

4000 bottles with an expiry date? And you are a new seller? Do NOT send in all these bottles because there is a very small hope that you will sell those within the ACCEPTED (and not printed!) expiry date. And read carefully the help pages regarding the expiry date regulations. There is a possibility that Amazon will decline the units upon receipt if the date is not "how it should be". Here is a thread about the subject:
