Did you know Rudolph the Reindeer (and all reindeer in general) has no upper teeth?
Join us for beautiful pics of auroras, reindeer teeth trivia, and grousings about grocery prices! Whether you’re a born Norwegian, immigrant, tourist, or just think reindeer are cute, this is the place to be.
Due to the small size of Lemmy, and the even smaller size of the Norwegian part of Lemmy, contributors are encouraged to stick to English where possible.

If you're relying on the supplier / manufacturer to provide origin info, it's presumably more reliable if they have an incentive to tell you to tag their products so they get more sales, rather than them telling you to tag their products to reduce their sales. This applies especially to products where the origin might be a little blurry.
From a usability perspective, there isn't really any difference between the two. And since this isn't mandated by law yet, some shops might not tag their stuff at all, or might not ask their suppliers and only tag those whose suppliers actually volunteer the info. There's a whole bunch of scenarios, but you get the gist.
