GTIN Non-Reuse Rule
The Standard for GTIN Reuse across all industries was changed in the GS1 General Specifications on December 31, 2018. Beginning on January 1, 2019, products in GS1 US Data Hub with an In Use status could no longer be changed to the For Reuse status.
Q. What happened to the GTINs that I’ve marked For Reuse on 12/31/2018 or before?
A. As of 3/21/2022, these GTINs have been automatically returned to your "Available" pool again so you can assign them one time.
