No. 413. Country of Origin Labeling on Boxes Containing Imported Bearings.
The Commission rendered an advisory opinion concerning the proper marking of boxes containing metal bearings imported from Japan. .
It was proposed that the bearings, manufactured in J apan, will have the term “Made in Japan” etched into the metal of each bearing. Catalog advertising describing these bearings will bear the legend “Made in Japan.”
The Commission expressed the view that unless the box bears any representation that the content is a product of United States manufacture, the failure to mark thereon “Made in Japan” would not be deceptive. (File No. 703 7075, released March 20, 1970.)
