Labelling Requirements
The requirements for Country of Origin markings are complicated by the various designations which may be required such as "Made in X", "Product of X", "Manufactured in X" etc. They also vary by country of import and export. For example:
- For imports to the United Kingdom, there is a voluntary code for Food. Other products are not subject to labelling requirements, but misleading labelling can result in prosecution under the Trade Descriptions Act 1968.
- For imports and exports from the USA, only clothes made in, and made from US materials, may use "Made in the USA"
- Food exported to the UAE must include Country of Origin
