No. 348. Disclosure of origin of imported turpentine. The Commission advised a company that a “Packaged in U.S.A.” statement standing alone would not be sufficient, and that it would be necessary to make a clear and conspicuous disclosure on the package of the foreign country of origin of the imported turpentine.
Under the factual situation presented for a ruling, the company plans to import turpentine from either Portugal or the U.S.S.R. After importation, the turpentine will be repackaged here in the United States into 1 gallon, 1 quart, and 1 pint containers for resale for general consumer use.
