Question about entering multiple countries of origin
Summary: A participant initiated a discussion with a question about entering multiple countries of origin. ricarmic and dinomitesales both responded, showing interest in the topic. sapphyres-designer-jewellery further engaged in the conversation, adding to the dialogue.
I sell sports and hockey cards often in groups of anywhere from 5 to 30 at a time.
Some cards are made in the USA, some in Italy, some in Canada. It varies each time.
What do I enter in country of origin? It won't let me choose multiple countries.
Usually not a problem, but if I understand correctly, I won't be enrolled in the international shipping program without putting a country of origin.
Feels like a catch-22. Thanks in advance!

·8 months agoI would enter the country that represents the majority of the items in the lot. Makes the most sense to me.
If eIS has an issue with it they can deal with it at the hub, or find some way to exclude such listings from being eligible for eIS (but that's really not your problem).

·8 months agoI had a customer buy several stamp lots, I grouped them together by country (like Australia, UK, Canada) and there with a hodgepodge of 99 cent items from various countries, I described them as a worldwide mixture assembled in Canada by my business. I figured that would be OK since the more significant items (in quantity and value) were declared by their country of issue.

·8 months agoI also sell large groups of stamps, often in 100s to 1000s of stamps in one lot of mixed countries. (Note that stamps aren't allowed in the eIS world so I've opted out)
For the mixed country lots I call them COO of Canada since the "mixture" was made by me here of a large variety of countries.
Your situation is a little different because you've, based on your original note only got 3 source countries. I believe like me, yours are all zero tariff anyway so you're probably fine also going CA on them too, however this isn't a professional opinion, just what I'm doing that seems to be working ok so far.... time will tell!!
