US requires Judea-Samaria goods to be labeled
- 8 years ago
A mail from the Cargo Systems Messaging Service of the US Customs and Border Protection dated to this Saturday, and revealed by Channel 1's "Mabat" show on Thursday, shows the US is now required products from Judea and Samaria to be labeled differently.
In new instructions on marking requirements sent out to American importers, goods from Judea and Samaria are not to be marked "Israel."
Those who do not comply are to be sanctioned.
The instructions were published on Saturday, apparently due to complaints by Palestinian Arabs and leftist organizations in the US, who claimed there is no enforcement of the 1995 American law on marking goods from the region.
The Obama administration gave support to the EU decision last November to label Jewish products from Judea, Samaria and the Golan Heights.
