That is no reason to remove a UPC barcode -- it is common to all instances of that product/size and doesn't reveal anything about its travels through the supply chain.
- Symbiote 8y agoThe contents of the box will differ, even if its only the language of the manual or the plug. I've bought slightly cheaper goods from Romania where just above the barcode it said "Romania and Bulgaria only". I presume the bar code was different than the rest-of-EU one.
- jstarfish 8y agoUPCs are not as universal as they once were. By removing an ounce from a can of soup (Walmart Rollback) or adding an extra hairbrush accessory to a Barbie to make it a Target Exclusive, the UPCs differ and become more specific to its destination in the supply chain. (It also makes it impossible to price match since the Target doll and Walmart soup are no longer technically the same item competitors sell, even though they practically are). International edition textbooks also have different UPCs (but not ISBN) than the standard versions.
