I just bought this plastic fuel filter at the local Bumper to Bumper auto parts store. Someone is a bit confused as to where it was made. Look at the 4 pictures..................

That's not confusing - the box was printed in the US, the barcode and part numbers were made in Isreal, the company that distributes these things was made in Taiwan, and the actual filter was made in Russia.

Actually, the box was printed in the US, and the filters are usually made in Taiwan. Normally if the actual product was made somewhere else, it is printed on a sticker and generally is suppose to cover the preprinted "Made In" country on the box. It also looks like whomever had the stickers made up/printed on the package got it wrong too, and the filters came from another supplier in yet another country.

Surely you are comforted by the fact that the box is of the highest quality?
