What does Made in the USA REALLY mean?

Important information for online display shopping

The Made in USA caption is major selling point for many products because of the negative stigma associated with products manufactured overseas. Made in USA is a representation of quality and engineering that most overseas manufactures can not match. When shopping around for a product the Made in USA caption can be a deciding factor on choosing one product over another.

Does Made in USA mean a product is 100% made in the United States?

All that is required to claim a product is Made in the USA is 51% of the total engineering, raw materials, labor, and quality control to be considered a US made product. This makes it very hard for a shopper to determine what they are getting when they purchase a Made in USA product. Are you getting a truly 100% American product or a product that is only 51% US Made?

What aspects of the product should be USA made?

It is very important that the product engineering and quality control aspect of the product is all done in the USA. It is usually beneficial for the manufacturer and the end consumer to have small components manufactured overseas. This allows for low cost components that will reduce the overall cost of a product without compromising the overall quality of the product.

What to ask for when buying a product that is Made in the USA?

You should always ask simple and straightforward questions about the product you are buying to insure you are getting the product you are expecting.

• Who is the manufacturer of the product?
• Who engineers the product?
• Who manufactures and assembles the components of the product?
• Where and how is quality control assessed?
• Are replacement parts available in the USA?
• Are warranty claims handled in the US or overseas?
• What percentage of the overall product is Made in the USA?

By asking these simple questions while researching the product you are looking for will help you to determine the quality of product that is labeled Made in the USA.
