Taiwan Investigates Fake Origin Claims
Taiwanese authorities confirmed that they raided offices of the company "Unimycron Technology," a manufacturer of printed circuit boards, over suspicions of falsifying the origin data of its products made in China. The products were marked with labels claiming they were Taiwanese in order to obtain preferential treatment regarding tariffs. The prosecution stated that two sites were searched and 18 individuals were questioned, and that placing Taiwanese origin labels on products made in China could be a legal violation and document forgery. The Taiwanese government is launching a campaign to strengthen oversight of "origin washing" operations to prevent companies from falsely claiming their products are made in Taiwan to evade higher customs duties. This effort is focused on recovering lost import revenues and avoiding penalties resulting from smuggling.
