I believe that U.S. customs regulations require all parts to have the 
country of origin affixed. Many of these parts arrive from suppliers 
without these stickers, in which case Moss employees would indeed have to 
apply the stickers themselves.

RE: Parts Supplier Comments:

I have received parts from Moss with "Made in England" AND "Made in
Taiwan" stickers on the same part!  It is curious to me that all the
"Made in England" stickers looked the same.  I think Moss has some
miracle "Made in England" box that all their parts pass through.
Therefore, regardless of their true origin, they have British
character when they are shipped.

All kidding aside, TRF has excellent quality parts.  I try to use them
whenever possible.  Moss is my #1 back up followed by Vicky Brit and
Special Interest Car Parts. <- (SICP runs monthly specials in Hemmings
and generally has some good deals)

Regards,

Chad
