There should be an import labeling requirement so that the nation of origin is easily visible on consumer products.

I think, for example, that China needs to make both political and product safety improvements.

If imported products were clearly labeled with the nation of origin, we could all make better buying decisions.

       What, you mean like a label with "Made in China" on it?

       Now you have me confused. If the product is made in china, and the label is made in USA, would should be written on the label?

       Rumour has it that C&A is so called because the label can be anatomically correct when applied to ladies underwear.
