What if Puerto Rico required all cement to carry a label with the location where it was manufactured and the date it was packaged? Does that regulation discriminate against interstate manufacturers?

YES the Puerto Rican law violated the dormant commerce clause. Puerto Rico does not have the power to regulate the cement labels because this law concerns commerce (and the US has the power to regulate commerce within the US territories and abroad).
