TEXT:

We would like to make clear the Manufactured Date in the captioned regulation.

A) What does Manufactured Date exactly mean?

Does it mean whether production date at Kia factory in Korea or the date of U.S Customs clearance ?

B) Does it mean that Manufactured Date has the same meaning with the same Model Year?

Appreciated your authoritative interpretation. Thank you.
