How to identify goods Made in China & Taiwan

[walkernet]

Nowadays we are buying products made in China and Taiwan assuming that they are made in European country or in America. But some of the are filled with defects and faults. So here is a way to differentiate Taiwan made products and China made products from others. You have to look at first three digits of Bar Code that is printed on the product.

If the 1st 3 digits are 690, 691 or 692 - China made
If the 1st 3 digits are 471 – Taiwan made
