BUY USA Want to buy US made products? BUY USA by watching for "0" at the beginning of the number. We need every boost we can get! This may be useful to know when grocery shopping, if it's a concern to you. The whole world is afraid of China-made "black hearted goods". Can you differentiate which one is made in Taiwan or China ? If the first 3 digits of the barcode are 690, 691 or 692, the product is MADE IN CHINA. 471 is Made in Taiwan. This is our right to know, but the government and related departments 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 is made. However, you may now refer to the barcode, remember if the first 3 digits are: 690-692 … then it is MADE IN CHINA . 49 … JAPAN 00 - 09 … USA & CANADA 50 … UK 30 - 37 … FRANCE 40 - 44 … GERMANY BUY USA by watching for "0" 47 ... Taiwan at the beginning of the number.
