GTIN Exemption Status API updates

Date: March 23, 2026

This release adds clearer denial visibility in the GTIN Exemption Status API response. You can now see an optional denial reason when an exemption is denied, which helps you understand outcomes faster without checking Seller Center.

What changed

  • Added: A new response field, statusReason, returned only when exemptionStatus is DENIED.
  • Updated: Response examples and field descriptions to document statusReason and its conditional behavior.
  • Impacted areas: GTIN Exemption Status API response parsing and any UI or logging that displays exemption status details.

Why it matters

  • Helps you quickly understand why an exemption was denied without additional manual checks.
  • Improves troubleshooting and reduces rework by making denial details available in the API response (when denied).

Next steps

  • Update your integration to treat statusReason as an optional field that appears only when exemptionStatus is DENIED.
  • Review the updated API guide and API reference documentation.
