Expiry date / best before

What is Expiry date / best before?

The date until which the product meets its specification, printed as EXP or as a best-before-end figure. Korean suppliers commonly print manufacturing date instead, so agree the format explicitly — several importing countries mandate one specific form and will reject the other.
