In the import customs clearance process, the indication of origin is an important procedure that clearly states the nationality of the product.
The indication of origin is applied according to various characteristics such as the material of the product, set composition, etc., and the basic principle is to attach it to the part most visible to the final consumer on the actual product.
It is most important to indicate in a way that the final consumer does not have any misunderstanding, arbitrary removal, or damage in identifying the origin,
and the exemption of origin indication is only recognized in cases where it is meaningless to the final consumer, such as when the imported state is not exposed to the final consumer as it is, or when the final consumer is the importer themselves.
