Products labeled as \u201cMade in the USA\u201d are always popular and, with the increase in trade tariffs implemented by the Trump administration, carry other advantages for businesses. A number of laws and regulations encourage businesses to make their products completely or partially in the U.S. and to disclose this information to buyers.<\/p>\n
In order to advertise a product as \u201cMade in America,\u201d companies must comply with the Federal Trade Commission\u2019s (FTC) regulations. The FTC standard states a product must be \u201call or virtually all\u201d made in the U.S. This standard means that only a negligible part of the product was sourced or manufactured overseas. When examining this, the FTC commissioner will look at how far removed the foreign addition is from the final product and how integral that addition is to the final assembly.<\/p>\n
For automobiles, U.S. content must be disclosed according to the American Automobile Labeling Act. This law requires cars to display a label stating where the final assembly on the car occurred, the percentage of equipment that originates from the U.S. and Canada, and the country of origin of the engine and transmission.<\/p>\n
The Buy American Act further requires that products must be manufactured in the U.S. with 50% or more U.S. parts to be considered for government procurement projects where the government must purchase products made in the USA.<\/p>\n
