Entry / Entry Summary · Country of origin marking

The Umbrella Corporation produces robots as a result of an assembly operation in its facility in Vietnam using components from Thailand and China. It was determined that the country of origin of these robots will be the country of final assembly. The Umbrella Corporation intends to import these robots to the United States. Which of the following is an INCORRECT origin marking?

  1. Product of Vietnam, Thailand, and China
  2. Assembled in Vietnam from components of Thailand and China
  3. Assembled in Vietnam
  4. Made in Vietnam
Show the answer and walk-through

CBP's answer: A. A: Product of Vietnam, Thailand, and China

Section 134.43(e) allows three markings for an assembled article whose origin is the country of final assembly: Assembled in the country, Assembled in the country from components of the component countries, or Made in or product of the country. 'Product of Vietnam, Thailand, and China' names components in a 'product of' mark, which is not one of the forms, so A is incorrect.

Assembled in (country of final assembly) from components of (name of country or countries of origin of all components) 19 CFR 134.43(e)
Made in, or product of, (country of final assembly) 19 CFR 134.43(e)
