美國製造
美國製造（英語：）是貼在美國本土製造產品上的原產國標籤，表明該產品「全部或幾乎全部」在美國本土生產、製造和組裝。這個標籤由聯邦貿易委員會（FTC）監管。[1]
一般來說，外國進口到美國的商品必須有原產地標籤，但在美國製造的商品可以不帶原產地標籤銷售，除非有明確要求。美國銷售必須貼有原產地標籤的美國製造商品，包括：汽車、紡織品、羊毛和毛皮產品。任何其他產品自願聲明含有美國原材料，都必須符合FTC的美國製造政策。[1]
A Made in USA claim can be expressed (for example, "American-made") or implied. In identifying implied claims, the Commission focuses on the overall impression of the advertising, label, or promotional material. Depending on the context, U.S. symbols or geographic references (for example, U.S. flags, outlines of U.S. maps, or references to U.S. locations of headquarters or factories) may convey a claim of U.S. origin either by themselves or in conjunction with other phrases or images.[1]
In May 1997, the FTC published its proposal that the requirement be stated as:[2]
It will not be considered a deceptive practice for a marketer to make an unqualified U.S. origin claim if, at the time it makes the claim, the marketer possesses and relies upon competent and reliable evidence that: (1) U.S. manufacturing costs constitute 75% of the manufacturing costs for the product; and (2) the product was last substantially transformed in the United States.
However, this was just a proposal and never became part of the final guidelines published in the Federal Register in 1997.[3]
