My company has for years produced products in Puerto Rico and has labeled
our products as "made in the USA". A couple of years ago, UK customs decided
in their own wisdom that Puerto Rico is not part of the USA and that our
products must be labeled "made in Puerto Rico".
So, to answer your question, the final assembly point is the point of
manufacture. But as you can see from my example, what we really have here is
a political situation. So in reality, any country can require you to label
as they see fit. I have noticed that on cars sold in the US, there is an
explanation on the sticker as to what was manufactured where. Other
countries may have this requirement for some types of products. However, we
have not encountered this need for office equipment.

Subject: Country of origin
Dear groupe,
This question is not a safety or EMC issue but I think that some of
you
have been involved in something like this before.
On the label with compliance information we normally also add
something
like : "Country of origin " or " Made in" this is required by some
of the
EU directives and others (normally just the country of the main
company who
have the legal responsibility. )
But my questions are;
-what is the rules for this information, is it just country of the
company
or is it the country where it is assembled, and what if it is partly
made
in different countries ?
-which authoryties requires this informations other than EU
directives (and
FCC part 68)
Best regards,
Mr. Kim Boll Jensen
