JP, KR and CN Version Cigarette Pack Label Guide
Version wording is part of an exact catalog name when it appears in the source. This guide explains how to retain JP Version, KR Version and CN Version labels without turning them into unsupported claims about manufacture, legality, import history or current stock.
Meaning on this site
What JP Version, KR Version and CN Version mean in a catalog title
These labels preserve the wording attached to a specific listing or photographed package. They help separate records that may share a master brand and variant name. They do not, by themselves, establish where an item was manufactured, how it entered Canada, whether it is currently available or whether a similarly named pack is identical.
Three label routes
Keep the market label with the complete product name
KR Version
Marlboro Purple Burst New KR Version 5mg is a separate canonical record because New KR Version is part of its complete catalog name and photograph.
CN Version
Chunghwa CN Version 11mg keeps CN Version and printed 11 as identification fields rather than a general claim about every Chunghwa pack.
Verification workflow
Five checks before choosing a market-version page
| Check | Record | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| Master brand | Marlboro, Chunghwa or another visible wordmark | Version wording is not a substitute for the brand. |
| Complete variant | Purple Burst, Original or every other visible line word | Similar labels can occur on different variants. |
| Version label | JP Version, New KR Version or CN Version exactly as shown | Small wording differences may separate canonical records. |
| Printed value and format | 5mg, 11mg, box, soft pack or another shown field | These fields narrow the match further. |
| Photo and live status | Match the retained image first; check changing status separately | Identity and current availability are different questions. |
Claim boundaries
What a market-version label does not prove
Not manufacturing origin
The label is catalog evidence, not a complete manufacturing record.
Not import or legal status
Do not infer customs, tax, licensing or legal conclusions from two letters on a listing.
Not current inventory
A permanent guide can remain online while price and availability change in the live catalog.
Not product equivalence
Two packs sharing Purple Burst or another line name can still be separate when their version wording, values or photos differ.
Reference questions
JP, KR and CN Version Cigarette Pack Label Guide FAQ
What does JP Version mean on a cigarette listing?
It is part of the exact catalog or package wording for that record. It should be kept with the brand, variant, printed value and photograph.
Is KR Version the same as manufacturing origin?
Not necessarily. The label alone is not enough to make a manufacturing-origin claim.
Does CN Version prove a pack was imported from China?
No. It identifies the catalog record represented by the supplied wording and photo; it does not document an import path.
Can JP and KR versions share a similar product name?
Yes. Similar line wording can appear on separate pages, so retain the version label, printed value and exact photograph.
Does a market-version page show live stock?
The permanent page identifies the record. Current price and availability are separate live catalog fields.
