  FTC Explains ‘Made in USA’ Standard To Confirm Consumer Confidence
According to the Federal Trade Commission, "Made in USA" means that "all or virtually all" the product was, indeed, made in America.
For a "Made in USA" claim to be accurate, all significant parts, processing and labor that go into the product must be of U.S. origin.
While the FTC enforces the "Made in USA" standard, it's the U.S. Customs Service that oversees the requirements that imported goods be marked with a foreign country of origin (for example, "Made in Japan").

Made in the USA sounds like a basic concept: if something was made in the United States, can’t a “Made in the USA” label just be stuck on it?
Manufactures have to consider things such as where the bulk of the item, or the primary parts were made before putting the Made in the USA label on their product.

 Complying with the Made In the USA Standard
An unqualified Made in USA claim is deceptive for two reasons: The base is not far enough removed in the manufacturing process from the finished product to be of little consequence and it is a significant part of the final product.
If the plastic case was made from imported petroleum, a Made in USA claim is likely to be appropriate because the petroleum is far enough removed from the finished product, and is an insignificant part of it as well.
Because the value of the U.S.-made parts is negligible compared to the value of all the parts, a claim on the treadmill that it is "Made in USA of U.S. and Imported Parts" is deceptive.

 Jonathon Delacour: Made in Usa
I don't regard myself as particularly gullible, yet I've long believed the story that in the post-war period-when "Made in Japan" was a synonym for "shoddy quality"-Japanese manufacturing companies set up branch offices in the Kyushu town of Usa, so that they could label their export products "Made in USA".
