Feb 23, 2018Thanks Rob, No one else seems anxious to supply the answer. IPVM is my last resort.

Feb 23, 2018The datasheet for the FLIR FC Series camera has this notation at the bottom right of the document (RED)
i.e. since FLIR maintains export control outside of the US, then it would stand to reason that the camera was manufactured in the US - and most probably at the Santa Barbara manufacturing facility (BLUE).
Disclaimer: Although I am a FLIR employee, I am not knowledgeable regarding current export controls as it is not part of my specific job duties. I just decided to see if I could find this information myself and this was what I found.
Have you called FLIR directly with your question?

Feb 24, 2018Marty,
Thank you for your response.
According to the NAFTA rules, as I understand them, an item can be manufactured in the US but not have a US Certificate of Origin. This would occur if more than 50% of the assembled parts by cost are from outside the USA. So it depends upon the value of parts actually being produced by FLIR or a US supplier to FLIR.
I have contacted Support who provided me the USA manufacturing information but when pressed referred me to Sales. So far no response.
What I probably need is someone in Product Management or even someone involved with shipping to Canada who would be more knowledgeable with the regulations.
Thank you for your response. If you can provide me with an inside contact with detailed knowledge I would appreciate it and contact you privately for that information.
Best regards,
Frank

Feb 24, 2018Thanks for that info Frank... and I'm sorry if my response seemed a bit defensive. I reacted to the 'last resort' comment and I apologize. :) I love my support team.
My email is marty.major@flir.com - please send me an email and I can forward it immediately to about 10 people....
I may not know who can answer your question, but at least one of the ten I forward it to will know.. : )

Feb 24, 2018Probably you can use the FB-O bullets. They are manufactured in Europe so you don’t need all those papers

Feb 27, 2018Frank - I am the Product Manager responsible for FLIR's thermal security portfolio. Country of Origin questions may seem simple, but seldom are. I think it is best if we communicate directly so that I can connect you to the best FLIR resources. Please contact me at dwight.dumpert@flir.com.
