* Selling in these product categories requires approval.

** Requests for UPC or EAN exemptions are reviewed and approved by category managers. Vendors must be approved to list products in a category in order to request UPC or EAN exemptions for that category. Generally, Vendors must have a selling history on VegaVend before they will be considered for an exemption. EAN exemptions cannot be granted for single VSINs sold in product bundles or in bulk. With the exception of “Antiques” products, the condition of an item for which an EAN or UPC exemption is requested must be “New”.
