How about "made in the USA from globally sources materials/components".....does that count?

How about "Country of Origin on box".......and they list about a dozen companies on one of the folds of the packaging when you open them up. Anyone remember when TRW starting doing that with engine rebuild components?......
I'm not positive but I'd have to guess that materials within the product in question that is sourced elsewhere doesn't have any bearing. For instance a lot of aftermarket heads use Ferrea valves and I believe those are made in Brazil. Great valve, but not American made. From what I have read, depending on the state, it's the end product finished in the US that allows the "Made In USA" claim skate along the fence, but not all states allow that.
