<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Vickie Costello, post: 1659471, member: 7330&quot;]<font size="3"><b><b> Items marked &quot;Foreign&quot;. The Congress of the United States passed the McKinley Tariff Act on October 1, 1890. It imposed tariffs on imports and demanded that the name of the country or origin be stamped or printed on items imported into the United States. Beginning in 1893, every item that was imported into the United States had to be marked &quot;Foreign&quot;. Due to a revision in 1914, all items after 1923 had to be marked with a complete mark. If any item was not marked according to the law, it would be turned back at customs. However, the act was revised in two steps: the first revision replaced &quot;FOREIGN&quot; with the true country of origin,based that Great Britain had already forced Germany to use &quot;Made in Germany&quot;. The second step included Japan and Czechoslovakia. Since then, &quot;Foreign&quot; is no longer being used.</b></b></font></p><p><font size="3"></font>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
