Cos & e-commerce players need to display ‘country of origin’ on products: Paswan

Consumer Affairs Minister Ram Vilas Paswan on Thursday said state governments have been directed to strictly enforce the provision that requires companies and e-commerce players to display the ‘country of origin’ on all products. The provision of declaration of ‘country of origin’ has been in place since January 2018 for all manufacturers, importers, packers and e-commerce players. The commerce ministry has now been asked to ensure that e-commerce players too comply with this rule strictly, he said.

“We have reiterated that we have such a provision in place. We have directed state governments to strictly enforce the provision and take action against violators,” Paswan told reporters.
