Also known as: Country of origin marking, Origin marking requirement
A marking requirement mandating that imported products clearly indicate their country of manufacture or production on the label, per applicable foreign trade regulations.
Origin labeling is a non-tariff regulation requiring imported goods to visibly, legibly, and indelibly display the legend 'Made in [country]' or equivalent. It differs from a certificate of origin in that labeling provides consumer information, while the certificate is a document proving compliance with rules of origin for preferential tariff access. Failure to comply with origin labeling can result in customs clearance suspension and fines.
