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 Timeless Wood Creations Welcome! Thanks for checking out my site. My name is Curt DeRoo and I have been a resident of West Michigan all of my life. I have also experienced the ups and downs of the Michigan economy. In order to plan a secure future for my family I am embarking on a new chapter in my life that includes my love for woodworking and extra income for my family. When I was trying to figure out a name for my company I thought of what working with wood means to me. Woodwork means craftsmanship, quality, customization, and timeless construction. I believe in making a quality product that will last and that meets your needs. My father is a craftsman and my fondest memories are of working with him in his shop learning his trade. My goal is to follow in his footsteps and make him proud. I am an engineer by trade which helps me visualize my customer's needs. My wife is a teacher and she is always asking me to make pieces that help her organize her classroom. She is always impressed when I can make a beautiful piece of furniture from a simple sketch and some measurements. Being an engineer for the past 20 years has helped me develop an eye for details. My wife often tells me I'm a perfectionist and I always exceed her expectations. I hope to bring that same ethic and attention to detail to the pieces I build for you. I am also used to meeting deadlines so rest assured your order will be a priority. Punctuality is very important to me. I hope you give me a chance to show off my workmanship and quality to build you a piece of timeless woodwork that you will enjoy for years to come. You can choose a piece that you see on my website or feel free to contact me with a unique idea and we'll see what we can figure out together. Thank you for considering Timeless Wood Creations and helping support a company with all Made in the U.S.A. products. Sincerely, Curt DeRoo |
