Congress wants Amazon to more prominently identify the origin of products on the Amazon marketplace.
In a letter to Amazon and Andy Jassy last week, the House Select Committee on China asked Amazon to implement the following changes across its platform:
1) Prominently display "Country of Origin" for every product listing, using a clear and standardized format.
2) Require sellers to report the percentage of U.S.-made components in a product, based on existing federal definitions and guidance.
3) Clearly indicate whether the seller is a U.S.-based company or a foreign entity, including ultimate beneficial ownership when the seller is affiliated with a PRC-based entity.
4) Create user-friendly, filterable search tools that allow customers to view only products made in the United States or to exclude products from specific countries of origin.
5) Apply robust verification mechanisms to ensure sellers do not misrepresent country-of-origin information, with a particular emphasis on ensuring PRC products are not misrepresented as originating in third countries.
Good or bad idea?
