A man’s woven shirt is properly marked with the country of origin on the front of a sewn in label located at the center of the neck. There is a black hangtag located on the right sleeve near the wrist area. One side of the hangtag lists, in red print, the name of the importer and their U.S. address: TSA, 111 NW 1st, Seattle, WA. The other side of the hangtag lists the size, material content and price. To comply with Customs country of origin marking requirements, which ONE of the following statements is correct?
A) No additional marking is required since the sewn in label correctly states the country of origin.
B) An additional hangtag on the left sleeve is required which states the country of origin.
C) An additional country of origin marking is required. It must be located on the side of the hangtag near the price.
D) An additional country of origin marking is required. It must be located on the side of the hangtag, which lists the U.S. address. It must be legible, permanent, and in close proximity to the U.S. address. It also must be of a comparable size.
E) An additional hangtag in the center of the neck re-stating the country of origin would be sufficient.
