Ann Posted June 23, 2009 Share Posted June 23, 2009 Now this is interesting...cut, paste, print and carry the chart in case you are curious about the country of origin of a product. This may be useful to know especially when grocery shopping, if it's a concern to you. Can you differentiate which one is made in Taiwan or China? If the first 3 digits of the barcode are 690, 691 or 692, the product is MADE IN CHINA. 471 is Made in Taiwan. This is our right to know, but the government and related departments never educate the public, therefore we have to RESCUE ourselves. Nowadays, Chinese businessmen know that consumers do not prefer products "MADE IN CHINA ", so they don't show from which country it is made. However, you may now refer to the barcode, remember if the first 3 digits are: 690-692���then it is MADE IN CHINA . 00 - 09���USA�& CANADA 30 - 37���FRANCE 40 - 44���GERMANY 47 ... Taiwan 49���JAPAN 50���UK BUY�USA�by watching for "0" at the beginning of the number.� We need every boost we can get! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
