Your invoice is for the annual renewal of your GS1 US membership and GS1 US Company Prefix. Renewing ensures continued access to your GS1 US Company Prefix, GS1 US tools and services, and the barcodes created with your prefix. It also helps keep your identifiers active in retailer systems and prevents disruptions to the sale of your products. Renewal fees are based on the capacity of your GS1 US Company Prefix.

For more information view the Renew Your GS1 Membership article.
