EAN

European Article Number

EAN (European Article Number) is a 13-digit barcode standard used primarily in European and international markets. It serves the same function as UPC but with an additional digit for country/region identification.

Why EAN Matters for Amazon Sellers

When selling sur Amazon's European places de marché (UK, DE, FR, IT, ES, etc.), EAN barcodes are typically required. Understanding the difference between UPC and EAN is important for international vendeurs.
