A new policy push in the U.S. is exposing confusion between “Buy American” and “Made in USA” requirements. While both sound similar, they fall under separate legal frameworks with different enforcement bodies and standards. “Made in USA” is governed by the FTC and requires products to be “all or virtually all” made domestically, while “Buy American” applies to federal procurement rules. Misusing these claims in marketing or contracts can lead to penalties and legal exposure.

They get tabled. Then forgotten. Then the deal dies quietly in someone's inbox..” - David Coyle
