Where does it come from?

Well I have just been shopping and all the Colgate toothpaste that I looked at comes from Thailand.

It would be great if others posted examples of products and where they come from as I am sure there are plenty of surprises out there.

I know I have plenty more to add

Tsing Tao beer comes from China, and I wouldn't have it any other way..........that delicious chemical taste lingers on my tongue........

Corona beer which is meant to be Mexican comes from New Zealand in this country

Any new Mercedes Benz bought in Australia was made in China.

Because of the free trade agreement between China and NZ
and the free trade agreement between NZ and Aus.

Ship stuff to NZ, then on ship it to Aus so it doesn't incur tariffs and duty.

If it was shipped China to Aus, it incurs duty.

So, there is NO manufacturing in New Zealand?

Some.

But why make stuff in NZ if it can be made in China ?

I eat some Kiwi stuff, mainly Jams, Lemon Curd as GF is a kiwi
and it is top stuff. Very kiwi specific food.

there is a Chinese Processing Plant in the south island

anything going through there is labelled made in New Zealand

how do you account for the enornous amount of products in Australia from New Zealand

New Zealand is not that big an area to sustain that quantity of primary produce

when China first had an incling that people from Australia were loath to eat their produce they set this up as a deceptive measure

to dump their inferior produce on us
