Summary

Existing law makes it unlawful for any person, firm, corporation, or association to sell, or offer for sale, merchandise that advertises itself as being made or manufactured in the United States when any article, unit, or part of the merchandise has been entirely or substantially made, manufactured, or produced outside of the United States. This bill would eliminate the requirement that any article, unit, or part of the merchandise be substantially manufactured in the United States in order for the merchandise to advertise that it is made in the United States. The bill would deem any merchandise to be substantially made, manufactured, or produced within the United States if specified requirements are met, including that United States manufacturing costs constitute at least 90% of the total manufacturing costs for the merchandise and that the merchandise was last substantially transformed or assembled in the United States.
