Foreign items have a longer UPC code (13 digits compared to 12 digits for American items) that are automatically rejected when you try to build an Amazon page for them. If you use the EAN number, Amazon is also likely to reject it if, as Gouranda notes, the item is already available on a foreign Amazon site. I really wish I knew how other sellers are able to circumvent these problems - whoever gets the item listed first has the clear advantage.
