New GTIN for:
Item
no
Existing higher-level packaging
Not applicable

Where a loose produce item (product 9) is placed in a bag (product 10) by the consumer, product 9 and 10 have the same GTIN.

Item
no
Existing higher-level packaging

Hierarchy level of GTIN assignment

Example business scenarios that require GTIN change

Loose Produce items presented for sale at the POS, either individually or in a bag (placed by the consumer) will be identified with the same GTIN. Placing the loose produce items in a bag by the consumer does not change the GTIN.

Additional information

Consequence if rule not applied: GTIN assignment would be inaccurate

Relevant guiding principles

Is the consumer or supply chain partner expected to distinguish the difference between old vs. new product? Is there a change in a regulated declaration to the consumer and/or trading partner? Is there a substantial impact to the supply chain (e.g. how the product is shipped, stored, received)?
