How to shop for Made in the USA items

Sometimes it can be difficult to figure out where something was made. Usually, an item’s origin is printed on its tag, and it should clearly state “Made in…” to let you know exactly where it’s from.

When shopping online, it can be tricky to determine where an item was made. Many companies source their inventory from multiple countries and don’t list a country of origin on their site. Some websites list the country of origin somewhere on the product page, but it’s easiest to stick to brands that you know are made in the USA like the ones outlined in our guide.

If you’re not sure where an item was made and you’d like to know, you can always contact a brand’s customer service department directly and ask.
