Manufacturing date (MFD)

What is Manufacturing date?

The production date, and the Korean domestic default marking. Several markets require a minimum remaining shelf life at customs clearance — often two thirds or a fixed number of months — so a slow shipment of older stock can be refused entry even though the product is perfectly good.
