What the rule says
Every article of foreign origin, or its container, imported into the US must be marked in a conspicuous place, as legibly, indelibly and permanently as the nature of the article permits, with the English name of the country of origin so an ultimate purchaser can see it, unless an exception applies. Marking is best done at manufacture, for example worked into the article. Containers of articles excepted from marking must still carry the country of origin unless the container is also excepted.
- Where it applies
