It just sounds similar to a situation where a company imports steel from America, oil from Iraq and plastic from China then combines them with other raw materials produced within their own country (let's call it country X) , building them up into a car within a factory inside that country, and sends it to market as 'produced in country X'
People could go a step further and declare 'you are what you eat, if animals are raised on foreign food, such as grain grown where rainforest used to be, then those animals should not be declared to come from a different country from the one in which their food originated'
Which would be a perfectly valid approach, since the pesticides, fungicides, herbicides and insecticides used by industry will accumulate in the flesh and body fluids of that animal .... so, if DDT is banned in the UK but a UK citizen eats flesh from an animal who has been fed DDT-laced crops , which had been grown in a country where DDT is still legal.... then, they will be getting a dose of DDT whether they want it or not.
