While the U.S. government does regulate companies' American-made claims, it does not offer a “Made in the USA” certification. Companies do not need to seek approval before claiming products are made in the U.S. and can simply add that phrasing to their advertising. However, if a company claims its products are American-made but does not comply with the “Made in USA” standards, it will be in breach of the law for false advertising. If reported, the company may face legal consequences.
