Bar Codes (GOOD TO KNOW) Very good info! Im not buying anything else Made in China. We had 2 foreign exchange students from China living with us & they always checked bar codes. They would put some things down and say no good - not same as in China When we asked them about that later, they said China sends the inferior things to the U.S.A., for what its worth. Bar Codes Identify Country of Origin - Be Sure to Check Them 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 ? For example, the first 3 digits of the bar code reflect the country code where the product was made. All bar codes that start with 690, 691, 692, thru 695 are MADE IN CHINA. Bar code items starting with 471 are Made in Taiwan like this one: Chinese businessmen know that American consumers dont prefer products Made in China , so they dont show from which country it originates any longer. 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 . 00 ~ 13 USA & CANADA 30 ~ 37 FRANCE 40 ~ 44 GERMANY 49 ~ JAPAN 50 ~ UK 57 ~ Denmark 64 ~ Finland 76 ~ Switzerland & Lienchtenstein 471 ~ Taiwan 480 ~ Philippines 628 ~ Saudi Arabia 629 ~ UAE (United Arab Emirates) 740-745 ~ Central America Please inform your family and friends. It is our human right to know, but its not the governments job to educate the public, just to rake in the taxes. Therefore, we have to protect ourselves & make everyone aware.
