What does it mean if a product has a "Made in USA" label on it?
In order for a product to have the "Made in USA" label or be considered American-made, the item must have all of its manufacturing—or at least the majority of it—based within the United States of America; additionally, the final assembly of the product must occur within the United States, and foreign content or components must be minimal.
Are these brands fully American made?
The short answer is yes and no (it's complicated). Some American-made brands manufacture entirely in the U.S., while others produce specific lines domestically. All of the brands included in this guide are based in the United States of America, but some may source a small fraction of their materials from other countries; those retailers are specified accordingly.
Why buy American-made products?
There are so many reasons to shop and buy American whenever you can. For starters, you're often guaranteed higher quality-control, as the products and materials can be traced back directly to manufacturers within the United States that are expected to uphold certain quality and production standards—as well as more ethical manufacturing that isn't always guaranteed when you order items from abroad.
Additionally, shopping American-made brands helps contribute to local job support—so you can enjoy better-made products and support your fellow Americans in the process.
Are American-made products more expensive?
Yes—generally, American-made products can be up to 20% to 50% more expensive than imported options; however, the USA also has stricter quality and manufacturing standards, as well as varying environmental regulations. You may pay more upfront, but you'll also get more longterm.
