No. 364. Origin disclosure of imported thread guides.
The Commission issued an advisory opinion relative to the disclosure of the foreign origin of imported ceramic textile and thread guides.
The Commission understood that the guides are the size of a dime and that it is diffcult, if not impossible to mark the country of origin on each guide during production. Markings after production is completed would be very diffcult and very expensive. The guides are not sold to the general public, but are used in industry for the manufacture of other products. The Commission expressed the view that conspicuously marking on the package or container in which the guides would be shipped to their ultimate user the words " lVade in (name of country J exclusively for (name of importer J" would be an adequate disclosure of the country of origin provided the guides were made exclusively for the applicant.
