Fix “Missing country of origin” on Meta Commerce Manager
Meta increasingly requires country of origin disclosure for catalog items, especially cross-border. Items without it serve with reduced visibility in international placements.
What you see in Meta Commerce Manager:
Missing country of origin Origin country disclosure is required for some EU markets and increasingly recommended globally. Items without origin disclosed face reduced visibility in international placements.
