The short answer is, in the USA call 1-937-435-3870, the Uniform Code Council, Monday - Friday 8:00 a.m. to 6 p.m. EST. Or you may contact them via mail: Uniform Code Council, Inc., 7887 Washington Village Drive, Suite 300, Dayton, OH 45459. For a fee, the Uniform Code Council will issue you a company number and send you a packet of information about how to use it. Outside the USA, contact the equivalent organization for your country. You can apply online, by phone, or by fax

Depends.  If it is food there are food brokers.  Otherwise, you could probably just call manufacturers direct.

You could approach trade associations and fedrations for information and contact numbers of importers.Then call them up and sell them your product over the phone.

Good luck. Wholesalers usually require minimums, resale permit, etc. You could try Cabela's... but they're not wholesale. If suppliers did what you want, they wouldn't be wholesalers, now, would they?

Take it to the bank.  The will accept it, as long as the serial numbers are legible and at least 50% of the surface area is legible.\n\n-Wes

Yes and yes. In most areas, you need a permit. And since you're selling food, you have to have a special license, which is not easy to get if you're making the product in your home. You have to meet a lot of sanitation requirements, which most home kitchens don't. Good luck!

Probably the best way to go about doing this is talk to a local representative.  I live in Michigan, and their are all kinds of factroy outlet stores, start out here (that is start small) and they will eventually lead you in the right direction.  \n\nThe other thing you can do is go to their cooperate websites and look at the list of partners, contact them and find out how they obtained the brand.  If you "surf" the site enough you may also find your own direct way to speak to one of their representatives that can turn you into the right direction.\n\nI know like anything this sounds like a lot of work, but sometimes it takes work to get what it is you want, keep being persistant and you will get what you want.\n\nI hope I have been of some help and Good Luck !

No,   bar codes contain 2 pieces of data.  The first part is the \n\nmanufacturer and the 2 part is the part number.

You will have to use 3rd Party softwares to read the barcode for you!!!

Codes of this sort require a processing center to be meaningfull. The bar codes could be specific to a store or company which was what happened frequently in the past. Today there is a central authority where you register for a bar code. Get the code and any scanner in the world will be able to know that this code belongs to your product. ISBN is the same way but it's a number to uniquely idenifty a book. Since many books may have the exact same title. Common titles may even have authors with the same last name contained in the many people who used the same title. A seperate unique identifyer was needed. The ISBN number became that number. \n\nThere are hundreds of codes used in every day life. The codes used in the anti-theft devices, the Internet itself could not exist without the IP addressing scheme. All of these codes boil down to the same thing. To uniquely idenfify a product/product group and enable some function to be peformed on it when scanned. Social security numbers, garage door openers, cell phones, are all examples of the same thing. Just not things you'd scan in a retail store.  \n\nHow the codes are implimented depends on the media. ISBN are printed in the book and interested parties download the DB or connect directly to the DB for lookups. Some out of date libraries may still keep a paper form of the DB as well. Bar codes again are kept in a central DB where they are downloaded into the registers that will read them. It might be an airline scanning to see which luggage goes where, a clerk at a store who pops up a price and item description from the bar code or a security tag identifying who the donor of a specimin is.  The bar codes themselves are just a number. There will be a literal written number, and a representation of that number in "bar code". A series of lines who's placement and size denote a number. The reason they don't just use a number is scanning literal numbers is still even today an iffy proposisition. Back when bar codes were invented it was just not possible. The larger simpler representations of numbers that make up bar codes could be scanned and turned into electronic data very easily.

Contact an import/export company and send them a sample of your product. They will in turn look for buyers of your product. Can you produce the product on a mass scale?

You need to get an importers license from the federal government and also one from your state government. See link for more info.\n---------\nThis is if you are shipping container quantities.\n\nFor lesser quantities, your best bet is to do it through local liquor wholesaler - check the phone book.

Only if your selling a US Licensed machine in a foreign country. But its normally for bulk machine orders.

Sure, why not.  I presume you will be selling the same merchandise.  Incorporate and run everything through the corp. If you're ebay id hasn't already been incorporated, you can even incorporate under that name.

You would need to be more specific to get a good answer.  It depends on a number of factors - what is being sold, is the person selling it an expert in that type of item, what state are you in, etc.  Overall, Article 2 of the UCC (Uniform Commercial Code) governs the sale of goods, but different states have adopted it in different forms.\n\nIf you can provide a bit more detail, you'll get a much better response.  Good luck to you -

Sounds impossible.  Could you post the code you already have?

I think it depends on the state you live in.  You will need to check with the folks who handle licenses in your area. I sold on ebay a few years ago and you did not need one in the state of MD at that time.  I am not sure about where you live.
