How to check before you buy
- Check the exact item. A maker’s statement can cover one line and not another. Look for the origin on the product page or the box.
- Read the label wording. “Made in USA” should mean all or virtually all. “With imported parts” or “Assembled in USA” are honest, qualified claims.
- Buy the maker’s own listing or a seller you trust. Marketplace listings are written by the seller, not the maker.
