Country of Origin Marking

This document proposes to amend the Customs Regulations to ease the requirement that whenever words appear on an imported article indicating the name of a geographic location other than the true country of origin of the article, the country of origin marking always must appear in close proximity to those words. Customs believes that, consistent with the statutory requirements of 19 U.S.C. 1304, the country of origin is only necessary to be in close proximity to the name of the other geographic location on the imported article if the name of the other geographic location may mislead or deceive the ultimate purchaser as to the actual country of origin of the imported article.
