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 American Made Solutions Nate's American Made Store was created as a single source where you can find American made products. We carry only products that are made here in the U.S.A. Our goods are made by your neighbors and your friends in communities just like yours. Our store celebrates America's craftsmanship, creativity, and innovation. I've looked for U.S. products in local stores and on the net, I can find them, but it's hard to do. Here at Nate's, wrapped up in one convenient online store, we bring you, soft goods, toys, tools, hardware, kitchenware, and more, all made here in America. Nate's American Made Store concept was conceived nearly 5 years ago, as I watched our factories close and jobs offshored. Through the years, I've listened to our politicians argue about what kind of economic stimulus and job bill would create the most jobs, all the while they created more free (not necessarily fair) trade agreements shipping more and more of our jobs to developing countries. The solution is slow to come from Washington, a grass roots answer is achievable?the American people have a choice to purchase products made here, at home, in the U.S.A. When buying an American made product you keep the jobs here and have the peace of mind knowing they were made under safe and fair working conditions. We value your input, tell us what you think and what kind of products you'd like us to carry. We'd love to hear from you. Larry Nate Noethlich |
