The FTC will consider new rules for 'Made in USA' labels

The Federal Trade Commission has received a petition asking it to change the rules for how companies can label products as "Made in USA." This means the agency will now formally consider whether to tighten or loosen the requirements for using this label.

For decades, the FTC has allowed products to be labeled "Made in USA" even if they contain some foreign parts or labor. This petition asks the agency to clarify or change those rules. The outcome will affect how manufacturers design their supply chains and how consumers understand product origins.
