UPC codes are unique to each manufacturer.  GS1 (formerly UCC) does not maintain a central repository.  They only maintain a database of manufacturer codes...the first part of the barcode.  The rest of the code is the SKU and checksum.

If you have an account with a wholesale supplier, they may be able to supply you a database of the products they carry or sell to you.  But keep in mind that their codes may be different than another supply source.  And those may be different than a retailer.

fine,
From where can I get manufacture code(including country code). More over who is checksum calculate.
I may have sku with me.
The checksum is calculated to ensure the barcode is read correctly by a scanning device.  There are set formulas for each barcode format.  These are programmed into the firmware or software of the scanning device.  All you need to know is to ignore the small human-readable digit in the last position.  Most manufacturers make it significantly smaller than the rest as a visual indicator that it is not part of the actual code.

See here for a diagram of the code.

If you have the code, search here .

If you have the company name, search here .

The main page (with 2 other search options) for registry info is here .
