Question 8

How does I Buy American Made check "Made in USA" claims?

Accepted Answer

Every claim comes from the maker's own website, and we check it before we list a gift. Under the FTC's rule, a plain "Made in USA" claim means all or virtually all of the product is made in the United States. When a maker says a product uses imported parts or materials, we show the maker's exact wording next to it. Please confirm prices and holiday shipping dates with the maker before you buy.
