No, the numbering of a product does not imply any “significance”. A GTIN simply starts with the EAN.UCC Prefix of the local GS1 Member Organization that has allocated a bank of numbers to a company. This does not mean that the product was manufactured in a specific country or by a specific manufacturer, it may have been produced anywhere in the world.
