How to Tell if a Product is Made in the USA

According to the “Buy American Act”, more than 50% of a product’s parts must have been manufactured in the United States before a company is allowed to label a product as being made in America. In addition , the “Buy American Act” requires the U.S. government to give preference to American-made products when making purchases. The “Made in USA” label is regulated by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC). The FTC sets standards for whether or not a product can use the label. Products must be manufactured according to the FTC’s rule which mandates that the product is “all or virtually all” produced in the U.S.

A Few Steps to Take

One way to determine where a product was made is to look on the product’s label. “Made in U.S.A.” could be embossed or stamped directly on the item, or there could be a tag attached containing the information. The information could also be listed on the box or packaging.
In this age of technology, it is of course very easy to research a product’s origins on the Internet.
You can check with an organization such as Made in USA Certified to help you determine if a product is completely made in America. If awarded certification, the product is eligible to carry the “Made in USA Certified” seal on its products.
Another method is to simply call the company or the manufacturer on the phone and ask where the product was made.
