History

American items and products are labeled ‘Made in the USA’, and this labeling is regulated by the Federal Trade Commission. Initially, the indication of the place of origin of goods was mandatory for imported items, and only some American products had these labels. Now they have become much more common and widely used in advertising campaigns.

For products made in the USA, most consumers don’t mind paying a couple of dollars more for the same reasons.
