Where is my beer from? I get asked this all the time in the shop, whether it be Heineken is from Holland or their cheaper Corona is imported. So I thought id let a few YiBs in on the little trick. Its the BARCODE prefix... Eg: one beer 9346045000188 What you do is take the first 2 numbers usually, in this case 93 93 depicts Australia , 94 NZ ... then the next lot of numbers is the manufacturer code up until the break in the number in the middle marker, then next lot of numbers is the product number. Other quick handy country codes Australia - 930>939 NZ - 94 Holland - 87 Germany 40>44 UK - 500>509 China - 690 > 699 Mexico - 750 Now go and check your beers/stuff around the house ;) If you would like any further countries, see full list here : gs1.org/barcodes/support/prefix_list
