Remove the ASIN UPC association
8541: The Listing data provided is different from what's already in the Amazon catalogue.
A 3rd party seller incorrectly mapped its brand to our UPCs. We provided our GS1 Certificate, trademark certificate, website, email evidence from the 3rd party seller admitting he mapped our codes to his brand when selling our products.
The case has been open for 8 weeks and still 'the team' is investigating. They had previously granted exemptions as the evidence was accepted. However, we still have no resolution.
I have spoken with Amazon agencies, Amazon seller support, Amazon account manager and nobody seems to be able to override the system. We have substantial amounts of inventory that is idle and a significant advertising budget that is not being invested within the Amazon ads. We are a global brand selling in 22 countries and yet error 8541 is preventing us from launching on Amazon marketplaces.
Any help from members who have successfully found a resolution would be very appreciated

Hello there @Seller_wMqvVgvvelXUa, and welcome to the Seller Forums!
We certainly understand the frustrations. Error 8541 occurs when your listing data doesn't match what already exists in the Amazon catalogue, and this creates a catalogue-level lock that standard Seller Support cannot directly override.
If you are enrolled in Brand Registry, I recommend the following:
Step 1: Escalate within Brand Registry — select "Escalate previously submitted issues" and reference your original case ID.
Step 2: Request a GTIN exemption through Seller Central, attaching your GS1 certificate, trademark certificate, and the third-party seller's admission as supporting evidence.
Step 3: If you receive no resolution within 5 business days after escalating, reply to the escalated case requesting a supervisory review and mention the business impact (idle inventory, paused advertising budget, 22-country launch delayed).
The fact that they previously granted exemptions based on your evidence is a positive signal meaning your documentation is solid. The issue is likely a persistent catalogue conflict that needs manual intervention from the partner team. Keep a single case thread and avoid opening duplicates, as this can reset the investigation clock.
Hope this helps!
