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 Borderstate Made Borderstate Made began in Lexington, KY as an exploration of the influences of time, place and process. The hand made goods are constructed from materials that are individually selected for their ability to react to both time and usage, and assembled using methods that will assure your item lasts for many years. Statement from the Maker Upon completion, each piece is hand stamped with the date, the 6-digit number is reflective of both the end of the object's assembly and the beginning of a collaboration. Once my role as the maker has finished, the piece begins to evolve in response to time, light, and usage, transforming from its initial state to a reflection of you. For this reason, my work is free of logos, I prefer that each object is appreciated and recognized for the duration of time it has remained in service rather than for the person by which it was made. |
