## Summary

This bill would require **conspicuous country-of-origin and seller-location disclosures for new imported products sold online**. It assigns enforcement to the Federal Trade Commission as unfair or deceptive trade practices. - Consumers would see country-of-origin and the seller's principal place of business on online product pages, making origin information easier to find. - Online retailers and marketplaces would have to display origin and seller-country for products marked under the Tariff Act. Retailers are protected if they rely in good faith on third-party information and promptly remove false claims. - Small sellers with under $20,000 in annual sales and fewer than 200 discrete sales would be exempt from the disclosure rules. - Manufacturers, importers, distributors, sellers, suppliers, and private labelers would be required to provide the needed origin and seller-location information to retailers. - Certain marked drugs would need online listings to include the manufacturer, packer, or distributor name and place of business as required by FDA labeling law. - The FTC would enforce violations as FTC Act rule violations and would be directed to coordinate with U.S. Customs and Border Protection and the Department of Agriculture via a Memorandum of Understanding within six months. The disclosure requirement would take effect 12 months after that memorandum is published.
