In October, the Federal Trade Commission issued four closing letters related to "made in USA" claims.  According to the FTC's Enforcement Policy Statement on U.S. Origin Claims, in order to make an unqualified claim that a product is made in the United States, a marketer must substantiate that the product is "all or virtually all" made here. 

This month's letters emphasize the importance of being specific about which of your products are made in the United States and remind marketers that a product isn't "made" here if it has significant imported components.  The FTC also pointed out that companies have a responsibility to ensure that their "made in USA" claims remain up-to-date when there are changes in the supply chain.
