Requires internet merchants to conspicuously disclose a product's country of origin (per Tariff Act §304) and the country of the seller's principal place of business for new products of foreign origin. Exempts certain agricultural commodities, USDA- and FDA-regulated foods and drugs, used goods, and small sellers (under $20,000 and <200 sales).

Relative to its intended legislative type, this bill establishes a clear substantive regulatory requirement for country-of-origin and seller-location disclosure for covered online product sales, with specific exclusions, safe harbors, and FTC enforcement integration.

Requires manufacturers and importers to provide origin information, offers a seller safe harbor for relying on third-party information, and makes violations enforceable by the FTC as unfair or deceptive acts.
Moderate, technically focused consumer‑protection measure with bipartisan appeal but predictable industry opposition and FTC implementation complexities reduce probability.

Liberals emphasize consumer and supply-chain transparency benefits
Generally supportive because the bill increases consumer and supply-chain transparency, which can aid worker, environmental, and safety advocacy.
May view the FTC enforcement mechanism positively but want robust implementation and oversight.
Some concern that exclusions for many food and drug products limit the law's scope; enforcement resourcing is uncertain.
Cautiously favorable: sees value in consumer information and clearer marketplace rules, while recognizing compliance costs.
Wants clear implementation guidance, phased enforcement, and coordination across agencies per the MOU.
Concerned about ambiguity for multi-sourced goods and administrative burden on retailers and platforms.
Skeptical: views the bill as an expansion of federal regulatory reach into e-commerce and a compliance burden for businesses.
Some welcome transparency for 'Buy American' preferences, but many worry about FTC enforcement scope and costs for sellers.
Prefers narrower, less prescriptive approaches or state-level options.
