Really confused with Country of Origin COO
So I need help from some seasoned sellers please!
I am new and trying to do everything by the book, but this new requirement to provide Country of Origin is somehow confusing.
I am reselling products procured from Wholeseller in UK. As per the product box, components made in Mexico, China, Hungary. Product itself manufactured in another country plus to confuse this all there’s also information on importer of the product into UK.
So which country do I need to provide in COO field on Amazon?

The COO should be where the product was manufactured in order to pass through customs correctly - according to Google 
And from the amazon help page
What is Country of Origin (COO)?
As per UK government guidance:
‘Rules of origin determine where your goods originate from and which goods are covered in preference agreements. This means that the origin is the economic nationality of goods being imported and exported (where they have been produced or manufactured). It is not just where they have been shipped or bought from. If two or more countries are involved in the production, the goods are deemed to have originated in the country or territory where they were last substantially worked or processed.’
Country of origin (COO) rules require businesses to state the country where their goods originate in order to clear customs. The COO will determine whether your goods may qualify for preferential treatment. For example, reduced or zero rates of duty. The COO of a product is the country where the product was wholly obtained or manufactured.
Following the end of the Brexit transition period, all EU-exporting businesses to the UK and UK-exporting businesses to the EU will be required to provide COO information.
To ensure your Amazon business continues to operate as usual and to maintain your ability to create and edit your listings, provide country of origin information for all of your listings.
You can learn more about COO in our video in Seller Central. For more information, please refer to the following European Union and United Kingdom government guidance.
Where and how do I find my COO information?
If you do not know your country of origin, you can contact your supplier who should be able to provide you with this information. You can find further guidance on how to identify your COO information or in the TCA document.
