What do i use for CoO for Lego sets?

Lego sets are made in Denmark, Mexico, the Czech R and Hungary.   So what should i use for the Country of Origin?  The Head Office is in Denmark so that is whay i'm inclined to go with.

I believe we put the country it was made in (not head office). I sell vintage Barbies which were made by Mattel (head office in US but also a Canadian division), but the dolls themselves are marked with either Japan, Korea or Taiwan (boxes are long since gone) so I think that's what is supposed to be put.

If they are boxed I would put what is on the box itself.

I don't think US customs is targeting any of these countries so it might not matter which one is used. If China was included in that list of countries though then that would definitely complicate things

I found a couple of Lego boxes downstairs and yes, they do list multiple countries, always showing Denmark first though, so I'd go with that.

As far as I know, most modern US Lego sets made for the North American market are made in Mexico, although some can be made in China. The information is not on the retail box, but it is printed on the crates that they are shipped to distributors in or the frustration free flip-top box. They have a white sticker label on them that will say the set number and the info about where they are manufactured. 

 

https://www.ebay.ca/itm/143863102108 - There is an example of the label I am referring to. That one appears to be made in China. 

 

The boxes themselves list multiple countries that they could have components made from but this doesn't mean the country of origin. 

 

For vintage Lego, a garage sale/thrift store type seller who has something like a loose bulk lot of Lego, I think you would probably be fine to put Denmark and mark it as being vintage 1980s Lego Blocks. While you don't 100 percent know where it was made, Lego wasn't made in China until well into the 2010s. Anything 2010s would be a tossup and would vary set-to-set. 

 

Obviously, I am not a lawyer or customs broker so you should verify any of the above info with a professional or use it at your own risk.
