[PSES] Made in PRC or Made in China?

2012-06-13 Thread Carpentier Kristiaan
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?

Best regards, 
Kris Carpentier

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.
