The Tip is 'Labeling Tip 1' Know Your Labeling - For products Made in America, the greater the US content the more American jobs required to produce it. So whenever possible choose the product with the highest percentage of U.S.content. US content must be disclosedon Made in USA textiles, automobiles, wool, and fur products. There is no law requiringmost other products to be marked or labeled made in USA, or, have any otherdisclosure about their amount of U.S. content. Those manufacturers and marketers who choose to make claims about the amount of U.S. content must comply with the FTC's Made in USA policy. Note: Imported products must have the country of origin on their label whileproducts partially Made in USA do not. For a product produced in the U.S. to be labeled made in USA, or claimed to beof domestic origin without qualifications or limits on the claim, the product must be all or virtually all made in the U.S. This would mean that all significant parts and processing that go into the product are of U.S. origin. The product should contain no (or negligible) foreign content. Made in the USA products create the greatest number of American jobs for our country. This is because the labor to produce the product, and the raw materials that go into the product, are created with American labor. For most products, there is no law requiring made in America labels, or any other disclosure about the amount of U.S. content. However, for job creation purposes if you have a choice between an imported product and one with no country of origin on the label, choose the product without a country of origin over the imported one. The product without the country origin on its label has some American labor in its content and the imported one most likely does not. Buying Tip Continued - Read more on Made in America Products by Madcapz A few years ago, I was diagnosed with Grave's Disease (an autoimmune disorder that affects the thyroid, which in turn affects every other part of you). The only exercise I could handle was going for walks and I always reached for one of my husband's baseball caps because I was losing my hair (another symptom of Grave's Disease). But wearing a man's baseball cap with a sports team or company logo just didn't do it for me. So, I began my search for a fun feminine baseball cap that I could enjoy wearing, would make me look great, and feel fabulous! My search for this colorful fun woman's baseball cap became an obsession with me: I scoured the malls, catalogs, and the internet ? all in vain. Finally, I decided to make one myself. My friends loved the prototype cap. When my daughter said she wanted one I knew I was on to something?and MADCAPZ was born! Since that day I've made women's caps in over 60 colorful fun patterns and I add new ones all the time. MADCAPZ are made especially for women: a low profile fit women love, an adjustable strap for an easy fit, 100% cotton, and a 2 3/4 inch bill for great sun protection, and most importantly MADCAPZ make you look great and feel fabulous! MADCAPZ also are available in women's visors. I'm proud to say, MADCAPZ are MADE IN THE USA. I hope you enjoy wearing your new MADCAPZ as much as I enjoy making them. Carrie |
