                        TITLE 19--CUSTOMS DUTIES
 
  CHAPTER I--UNITED STATES CUSTOMS SERVICE, DEPARTMENT OF THE TREASURY
 
PART 134--COUNTRY OF ORIGIN MARKING--Table of Contents
 
       Subpart E--Method and Location of Marking Imported Articles
 
Sec. 134.44  Location and other acceptable methods of marking.

    (a) Other acceptable methods. Except for articles described in 
Sec. 134.43 of this part or the subject of a ruling by the Commissioner 
of Customs, any method of marking at any location insuring that country 
of origin will conspicuously appear on the article shall be acceptable. 
Such marking must be legible and sufficiently permanent so that it will 
remain on the article (or its container when the container and not the 
article is required to be marked) until it reaches the ultimate 
purchaser unless deliberately removed.

    (b) Articles marked with paper sticker labels. If paper sticker or 
pressure sensitive labels are used, they must be affixed in a 
conspicuous place and so securely that unless deliberately removed they 
will remain on the article while it is in storage or on display and 
until it is delivered to the ultimate purchaser.
    (c) Articles marked with tags. When tags are used, they must be 
attached in a conspicuous place and in a manner which assures that 
unless deliberately removed they will remain on the article until it 
reaches the ultimate purchaser.
