Tested imitation cartridges emitted:7

TOTAL VOLATILE ORGANIC COMPOUNDS (TVOCs)
Imitation toner cartridges may:
- Exceed eco-label emission limits7
- Undermine your purchasing department’s effort to comply with indoor air qualification criteria, such as EPEAT7
- Have short- or long-term health effects1
HP voluntarily designs and tests its printing systems5 to prevent emissions that exceed eco-label criteria.
Studies have shown that
imitation toner cartridges:
- May use 46% more energy than Original HP8.
- May have a 54% larger carbon footprint than Original HP8.
Testing and surveys indicate:
- Printer techs say clients are over 3x as likely to make a service call due to usage of non-HP cartridges.3
- 97% of printer tehnicians said that using non-HP cartridges in HP LaserJet printers shortens the life of the printer.3
100% of printer technicians said they clean HP LaserJet printers more often when non-HP cartridges are used, and 67% of these technicians said they clean it at least twice as often3.
Imitation toner cartridge are not exempt from Country of Origin (CoO) requirements4
The Law
It is a Customs requirement to declare the correct County of Origin (CoO)4 of a product at the time of importation. Consequently, the products are also required to be physically marked with their respective country of origin. The CoO must be conspicuously, legibly, and permanently marked on the product, and product’s packaging. This one must also match the country of origin on all of the commercial documents used for the import declaration. (i.e. commercial invoice, packing list, certificate of origin).
Why is the origin/origin marking important?
Failure to comply with country of origin requirements at the time of importation can result in customs hold or even confiscation of your shipment. The origin of a product affects the admissibility of goods for importation, the import duty rate, and eligibility to special programs such as US Government procurement.
