Great! Here’s a customer-facing question-and-answer format that emphasizes the advantages of using GTINs over EGS product codes in a clear, convincing, and professional way
Using GTINs makes your product registration and invoicing process faster, more organized, and future-proof. Here’s why:
– Instant Validation: GTINs are globally recognized and already structured, so they pass the Egyptian Tax Authority’s validation without the delays of manual EGS code approvals.
– No Need to Classify Manually: Unlike EGS codes, which require selecting and matching categories like family/class/brick, GTINs already contain that information based on international standards.
– Clean and Professional Data: GTINs reduce errors, ensure product consistency, and help you maintain a reliable digital product catalog.
– Efficient Integration: GTINs are compatible with most ERP systems and supply chain platforms, making integration smoother and reducing operational friction.
– Globally Accepted: If you’re exporting or working with multinationals, GTINs are the standard—they speak the same language across borders.
In short: GTINs make e-invoicing easier, more efficient, and aligned with global best practices.
