Cross-border pet-food label-compliance matrix (SA/KR/JP/CA/UK/FR)

Compiled for the cross-border / e-commerce compliance use case ("跨境电商/代购/法规师 靠 AI 算标签合规"). Each row is a verbatim, C1 substring-verified clause drawn from that jurisdiction's first-hand pet-food labelling statute/regulation. This is a synthesis topic: the claims are substrings of the original first-hand texts, compiled into pdf-raw/intl-2026/cross_border_label_matrix_sources.txt so every claim stays checkable against first-hand source.

> TH (Thailand) excluded: the primary Animal Feed Control Act B.E.2558 (2015) is unreachable (HTTP 403 local; 121-char shell via relay), and the available DLD AFVC report contains no labelling provision — TH P2 (labelling) is honestly pending.
