The blurring of market boundaries and the expansion of international trade allow consumers to choose from a diverse selection of both domestic and international products from various countries (Al-Sulaiti & Fontenot, 2004). The abundance of foreign-origin products and the ease of purchasing them in the domestic market have introduced a new factor into consumers' decision-making process: the evaluation of 'made-in' information (Al-Sulaiti, 1997). This emerging concept has prompted both academics and businesses to explore how consumers assess origin information, aiming to understand their attitudes and behaviors regarding domestic and international products.
