The origin marking practice began in the World War II era.\u00a0The rules as to how this must be done vary from country to country.\u00a0In America, it is required that goods imported across the border must be marked with a country of origin unless given a specific exemption. For example,\u00a0A \u201cMade in USA\u201d sticker or engraving on a mug or tag on a piece of clothing is a Country of Origin marking at work.<\/p>\n
Products that would be impossible to mark, items in danger of being irreparably damaged by the marking process, and original pieces of artwork are usually exempt from this type of marking. There are more exemptions not mentioned here, and for a more complete list of these exceptions, feel free to consult CBP\u2019s list of exemptions on the Chapter 13 Country of Origin Marking<\/a> page on their website.<\/p>\n The country of origin marking requirement is why \u201cMade in China\u201d stickers and stamps adorn goods imported from China; however, this regulation is not specific to goods imported from China.\u00a0The same requirement governs goods imported into the U.S.<\/a> from any country.<\/p>\n The marking regulation also determines the method of affixing the notice. For the marking to comply with guidelines, it must be legible, and indelible enough that the end purchaser will be able to view it.\u00a0This mark must also be placed in an area conspicuous enough that the end user would easily see and identify it.
