Marking - Made in XXX
Amund, There are multiple countries that have "Country of Origin" (CoC) marking requirements. Probably all for the same reasons, i.e. tariffs, truth in advertising, etc. Many countries have their own lists of countries from whom they will not accept imported goods, usually for economic and/or political reasons. At one time, the U.S. would allow imports of products "Made in..." China, Taiwan, and Thailand, but the U.S. government would not purchase such products. I am sure there are corresponding laws in various other countries. George --- This message is from the IEEE EMC Society Product Safety Technical Committee emc-pstc discussion list.

Re: Marking - Made in XXX
Amund: I looked into this a few years ago, and for the United States, the answer was yes: country of origin is required to be marked on imported goods. Actually, this was a function of the percentage of foreign material/labor incorporated nto the product, but the short anwswer was yes. I believe the US rules are the responsibility of the Department of Commerce www.doc.gov As a US consumer, I always check for country of origin, and almost always find it marked (more and more these days, it is China). By the way, I believe that if the goods are made in the USA, they do not need to be so marked. But most manufacturers will mark them Made in the U.S.A. anyways, both as an indication to domestic consumers, and for export reasons. Hope this helps. Regards, Jacob Z.

Marking - Made in XXX
Is it necessary to describe where a product is manufactured, as in "Made in XXX". I have see this statement/label on many products, but is it only voluntary ?
