Global Trade Item Number (GTIN)

Primary Definition:

Global Trade Item Number, also known as GTIN. Typically, this will be included in addition to the UPC and represents a packaging quantity for an item. Batteries may come in sets of 2, 4, 12, 14 and each packaging type will have a different GTIN even though it may be the same AA Battery. GTIN should be unique per WISE item because it also represents the selling quantity for that item. GTIN may be 8,12,14 digits with a barcode. GTIN many times are very similar to the UPC, but they are not the same. You cannot add zero to a UPC to create a GTIN.
