Country of origin on my CDs ?

[woodrows-toys]

I have a bunch of compact discs to sell, and they are all sealed.
It is very difficult and vague to figure out the country of origin on them .
Does anyone know if that is the correct country of manufacture when it’s listed on the sleeve?

I tried looking up the US tariff regulations online to figure that out myself.

The CDs I sell might be pressed at a pressing plant in Toronto, but was the blank CD
from China? or the "plastic" (or other raw components), who knows.

The regulations go into that stuff as well. It is complex.

Sometimes for used CDs that we have sold, the inserts are printed in Canada (or the USA) but the
disc was pressed in Japan or Germeny. It says on the disc.

Right now my zonos online app is giving 0.00 tariff for ALL Cds and it looks up the
photo.

Shouldn't that be enough for the US border zealots to accept it?

If the CD was pressed in a location that contrasts with the record company manufacturing/distribution information on the jewel case card or packaging, there’s usually a small, difficult to remove sticker on the shrink wrap that indicates the country where the CD was pressed.

Go with the information on the CD packaging unless there's additional information that contradicts that.

Whatever is printed on it is likely the safest option, but everything is up in the air right now. You might want to just consider excluding the USA until other people work out the kinks 🙂

You could try looking it up on discogs. They have the manufacturing info for a lot discs. I don't know if they're 100% accurate, but at least it might help a little.

I’m thinking that the last step in the manufacturing must be the “country of origin” because each step in the mfg process has to account for the previous importing/tarrif
