They try to deceive us!
Subject: Barcode Identifies Country of Origin
The whole world is scared of China-made ‘black hearted goods’. Can you differentiate which one is made in the USA , Philippines , Taiwan or China ?
Here’s how the first 3 digits of the barcode is the country code wherein the product was made.
Example: All barcodes that start with 690, 691, 692, thru 695 are all MADE IN CHI NA.
Barcodes that start with 471 come from Taiwan
This is our right to know, but the government and related department 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 originates.
However, you may now refer to the barcode. Remember if the first 3 digits are in the range 690-695, then it is Made in China .
