Amazon Trivia
ASIN
ASIN stands for Amazon Standard Identification Number and is a 10-character that is generated automatically. It is an alphanumeric identifier that helps with product identification from the catalog. But if you are creating a new listing, your product will automatically be given a new unique ASIN.
How to search and match products?
If the product you want to sell is already listed on Amazon global marketplaces, all you have to do is select the product, add the price at which you want to sell the product, and the number of units that you want to sell. This is ideal for sellers who have few products (less than 50-100) to list per month.

How to list your products in bulk?
Sellers using a Professional seller account have the option of listing their products in large batches using bulk uploading or inventory management. If you want to sell your products in bulk (100-1,000 products), you can upload products under two categories - a new product on Amazon or an already existing Amazon product.

How to list products on Amazon that do not have barcode/UPC/EAN?
Amazon uses product IDs to identify the exact item being sold. If you match a listing, you won’t need to provide a product ID since it already exists. If you’re adding a product that’s new to Amazon, you may need to purchase a UPC code or request an exemption.
If the product you sell does not have a barcode or a Global Trade Item Number (GTIN), you can request a GTIN exemption to sell your products on Amazon international marketplaces. Once we have reviewed and approved your application, you will be able to list your products.

Amazon Trivia
GTIN
Global Trade Item Number (GTIN) is an identifier for trade items. It is used to get product information in a database, often by entering the number through a barcode scanner pointed at an actual product, which may belong to a retailer, manufacturer, collector, researcher, or other entity.
UPC
UPC stands for Universal Product Code, which is a barcode that is used in many countries including the USA, Canada, Australia and New Zealand for tracking trade items in stores. It consists of 12 numeric digits that are uniquely assigned to each trade item. You can get a UPC code directly from GS1, or request an exemption.
EAN
The European Article Number (EAN or also known as International Article Number) is a standard describing a barcode and numbering system used in global trade to identify specific retail product type, in a specific packaging configuration, from a specific manufacturer.
