countries of origin
Where things originate
Countries of origin are the nations where people, products, or things come from.
The phrase appears most often in immigration contexts, where someone's country of origin is their homeland or birthplace: Applicants must list their country of origin.
For goods, it indicates where something was manufactured or produced: The country of origin must be labeled on imported products.
