- Abstract:
The article discusses the challenges faced by shoppers who want to know where the products they purchase are manufactured. While manufacturers are required by law to include this information on packaging, online retailers like Amazon are not obligated to provide it in their product listings. This lack of transparency frustrates shoppers who want to avoid buying products made in certain countries for environmental or ethical reasons. The article provides tips on how to find the country of origin for products on Amazon, including checking the "Product details" section, using browser extensions like Cultivate, and searching customer reviews and Q&As. It also mentions that Amazon India is the only country where Amazon is required to list the country of origin. The article concludes by mentioning other resources like the Product From website and the location filters on eBay. [Extracted from the article]
