For your interest.
So, when the U.S. Amazon site won’t tell me, I can go over to Amazon India for the info (if they carry the same product, and they often do).
Man, I wish that was mandatory throughout Amazon. I commented negatively about a product from China and was given a warning from the Amazon Community Censors. I kid you not. I didn’t even know they had such a thing.
OK Amazon, grow some non-liberal cojones and start telling me where your stuff comes from.
I, for one, will NOT willingly purchase any more Chinese products.
Now allow users to filter by country of origin.
Now, where can I get some of that Choco’s cereal?
Country of origin regulations are getting very common in a lot of counties as is in-country testing. Product compliance gets more and more complicated every year. In India, this controlled by the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS).
The products from my company going to India not only have to be safety tested, they have to be marked in very specific ways before they can get registered. There are also recurring factory inspections and certificate renewals.
I want Amazon to label all countries so I can quickly exclude China from my search.
Make everyone put them on everything.
HATE regulations but LOVE disclosure.
I shop on Amazon a lot and one of things I have definitely noticed about products is the “question area”. People ask about the dimensions of a product, or does it work under certain specific circumstances? But a VERY common question is “Where is this made?”
People are clearly trying to avoid China.
They should do this by default on all products. It is extremely hard to find stuff that is actually made in America on Amazon.

Sounds good to me. Anyway, I recently ordered an item from Amazon. It was made in China (Yeah, I know. But I had no choice.)
Here’s the interesting thing. It was NOT stamped “made in China”, as I had expected. It was stamped “made in PRC”.
Now, how many people know that PRC means the People’s Republic of China? I think the ChiComs are doing some clever camouflaging work here.
We should have the same requirement here.
Sounds good to me.
Yup. Most of us are against big, intrusive government and regulations, but I would support a law identifying a “Country of Origin” label on most everything sold in America.
Mr mm has been buying things through eBay lately.
He’s found it better than Amazon. IIRC, it’s easier to get better prices and support smaller businesses who are trying to compete against a giant like Amazon.
