Made in USA Label: What Are the Legal Requirements?

[Andrew_Kornuta]

What do you consider to be "Made in the USA"? What are some good and bad examples that you have seen?

I found this on the FTC website. It might be a good starting point, it seems vague.https://www.ftc.gov/business-guidance/advertising-marketing/made-in-usa

@Andrew_Kornuta I personally consider any work done in America to be a huge plus and value add when I am shopping. Even "assembled in America of imported parts" adds value for me. But what I really think of as truly "Made in America" is full domestic supply chain.

@michael_kornuta I suspect that the reason I feel this way is because I prefer to keep my dollars in the states, but it's rare to see made in USA on any products. Something is better than nothing.

Made on American-made equipment?

It's sad that we have been buying from overseas for so long that we don't even know how to define made in the usa anymore. I definitely see this turning around but it will take time.
