country of origin
Where it's from
Country of origin is the nation where something was made, grown, or produced.
Labels indicating country of origin appear on consumer goods, food packaging, and import documents: country of origin: Vietnam.
In immigration contexts, it refers to where a person was born or holds citizenship: Asylum seekers from that country of origin face persecution.
