Expanded GTIN Requirements for Google
Back in November of 2017, merchants in many countries began to see warnings that they would need to submit correct GTINs with their feeds. Those warnings are now a hard and fast requirement.
As of February 2019, Google began enforcing the GTIN requirements, and products submitted without them are subject to disapproval in Merchant Center and may no longer be elegible for Shopping Ads.
