Labeling and Advertising a Product With Foreign Content as &l= squo;Made in USA’
In light of President Trump’s increased focu= s and emphasis on “Made in America,” a better understanding of = current regulations regarding country of origin is important. Under the cur= rent Federal Trade Commission (FTC) guidelines, a product may be advertised= as “Made in USA” if “all or virtually all” of the = parts and processing significant to the product are of domestic origin.

Manufacturers may find compliance with the legal requirements for = labeling and advertising domestic products under the restrictive FTC guidel= ines is tough; however, the guidance does allow flexibility in some situati= ons. According to the Office of Textiles and Apparel (OTEXA), the FTC allow= s a product that is completely manufactured in the United States, and compr= ised of materials primarily from the United States, to be described as &ldq= uo;Made in USA” if it only has a “very small amount of foreign = content.” However, manufacturers may find compliance with the legal r= equirements for labeling and advertising in this situation tricky as the am= ount of foreign content that the FTC finds permissible is not clearly defin= ed. In situations where the product’s foreign content is truly neglig= ible, this approach may be viable. FTC guidelines permit a company to adver= tise a product as “Made in USA” by softening or “qualifyi= ng” the claim so that the labeling clearly suggests that the product = has foreign and domestic materials – for example, that the product is= “Made in USA of U.S. and imported parts.” However, there remai= ns ambiguity in the FTC’s guidance on what types of “qualified&= rdquo; claims are permissible.

Manufacturers in California must= comply with the California statute on “Made in USA.” The state= has amended its statute to bring it in line with FTC guidelines and now al= lows manufacturers to advertise a product as “Made in USA” as l= ong as the foreign components of the product “constitute not more tha= n 5 percent of the fìnal wholesale value” of the product, or i= f the manufacturer can show that it cannot produce or obtain the foreign co= mponents from a domestic source and those components “constitute no m= ore than 10 percent of the fìnal wholesale value” of the produ= ct.

Join this webinar with distinguished practitìoner Francis A. Citera, where he will review both the current reg= ulatory landscape for advertising and labeling products as “Made in U= SA,” as well as real life examples that have resulted in litigation. = He will discuss the permissions required for a product containing foreign e= lements to still be termed as “Made in USA.” He will also discu= ss the extent to which consumers are willing to settle for costlier “= Made in America” products.
