How to Identify the Country of Origin (COO) of Intel® Solid State Drives

BUILT IN - ARTICLE INTRO SECOND COMPONENT
Summary

Information about the Country of Origin (COO) and the available options to identify the COO of the Intel® SSDs

Description

Unable to find where my Intel® SSD was manufactured.

Resolution

The Country of Origin (COO) is the country of manufacture, production, or growth—where an article or product comes from.  The country of origin may be changed to a secondary country if further manufacturing or material is added to the article which constitutes a substantial transformation.

Substantial transformation occurs if a new article with a different name, character and use is created. Incidental manufacturing or the mere packing of the article(s) into retail packaging in a particular country may not establish the COO for the article(s).

The COO of Intel® SSDs is generally the country where the assembly of the SSD occurs.

The COO of a product purchased can be determined in multiple ways:

  • Option 1: From the label on the box, or on the drive label.
  • Option 2: The Intel commercial invoice showing the COO.
  • Option 3: A request with the details below can be sent to COO-Customs-Request@intel.com for more information:
    • Detailed request
    • Intel product-identifying information: Name/Model/Part Number
    • Country where the requestor is located
    • Country where the product was or will be imported if different from above
    • Approximate date of purchase
