According to several SGS and UL publications, which I cannot send because of copyright, Saudi Arabia does not allow abbreviations for country of origin on product label. Reference was Saudi Law of Commercial Data, No. M/5-14 Rabi' II 1423H.
We make some of our stuff in TJ, and their import people said to me 'what country does Mexico stand for?' And for some reason, they do not seem to consider 'USA' an abbreviation. LULZ. The joys of global economy.

Import of a product in Saudi-Arabia is not possible because on the product label is printed "made in PRC" and while the certification body claims it must be "made in China". Is there any reason why PRC (People's Republic of China) is not acceptable?
