ANSWERS BEFORE YOU BEGIN
Your questions,
answered.
Need help with your specific situation?
Talk to our teamWho issues GS1 barcodes in India?
GS1 India states that it is the authorised body in India to issue GS1 company prefixes and barcode numbers beginning with 890.

References: GS1 India: register for barcodes
Does one barcode cover every variant?
Do not assume so. Product, pack, size and other trade-item differences can affect GTIN assignment; plan the inventory before selecting capacity.
Is barcode registration trademark protection?
No. Barcode allocation and trademark registration serve different purposes.
Is there one fixed official price?
GS1 India describes fee variables including barcode quantity, turnover and subscription period. Check the current official amount for the applicant.

Can LIQUETAX guarantee retail acceptance?
No. Retailers, marketplaces and regulators may have separate product, label and onboarding requirements.

Who this service helps & key decisions
GS1 barcodes identify products in supply chains. GS1 India states that it is the authorised body in India for GS1 barcode numbers beginning with 890 and that applications should be made by the brand owner or an authorised entity. LIQUETAX can help organise the application file; barcode allocation does not grant trademark ownership, retail listing or product approval.
Indian brand owners, manufacturers and authorised applicants planning GTINs for products. Estimate current and future product variants before choosing barcode capacity.
| Question | What matters | Next step |
|---|---|---|
| Applicant | Apply as the brand owner or an appropriately authorised entity. | The invoicing party, brand ownership and authorisation should be consistent. |
| Capacity | Plan the number of distinct product and packaging variants needing identifiers. | Different size, flavour or pack configurations can require separate GTIN decisions. |
| Subscription | GS1 India's fee depends on factors including capacity, turnover and subscription period. | Use the current official calculator or quotation rather than an old package price. |
| What a barcode proves | A GS1 allocation identifies an item within the GS1 system. | It is not trademark registration, product certification or marketplace acceptance. |
