US Country of Origin marking - Exceptions
Summary: itolduandso provides information about the exceptions to marking articles with the Country of Origin under 19 U.S.C. 1304, including items over 20 years old, items valued under $200, and bona fide gifts under $100. They emphasize the importance of ensuring products bear clear COO labels and suggest sellers consult manufacturers for verification. cottagewoman inquires about the proof needed for items older than 20 years and notes the inclusion of stamps in the list of exemptions, which could benefit stamp sellers.
Articles Not Requiring Marking of Country of Origin (COO) - What articles are excepted from marking by 19 U.S.C. 1304?
1. The article was produced more than 20 years prior to its importation into the United States;
2. Articles valued at not more than $200 that are passed without the filing of a customs entry
3. Bona fide gifts from persons in foreign countries, provided the aggregate value of articles received by one person on one day and exempted from the payment of duty should not exceed $100 retail value.
In addition, CBP requires that all products bear a clear indication of their Country of Origin. This must be shown through a visible label or tag affixed directly to the product itself.
For sellers of collectibles or other unique products, it is your responsibility to determine the COO and ensure the necessary supporting documentation is available.
In the case of collectibles, we advise contacting the manufacturer directly, as many items may not have the COO listed on their packaging. Taking these steps will help ensure compliance and smooth processing of your shipments.
