What is the difference between GTIN, UPC, and EAN?

A UPC is part of the GTIN family, but it is a 12-digit barcode that is specific to the North American market used to identify most products. The rest of the world uses 13-digit EAN barcodes to identify products. However, both types of numbers and barcodes are part of the GS1 System of international standards, so both are accepted globally. A UPC barcode and 12-digit GTIN does the same job as an EAN barcode and 13-digit GTIN. So, if you license UPCs from a GS1 organization, you will have no problems using them globally. When a 13-digit number is required you can add a zero to the front of your 12-digit GTIN.
