Just received it from Rock Auto, for my Tahoe.
Glad to see "Made in the USA" on the box. We all know this is becoming a rarity.

USA is a city in China.
Opened it up, "Made in USA" is on the bearing... who knows.

I assume you're joking, but in case you aren't...
Imported items must be labeled with a country of origin, not a city of origin.
These silly rumors stared years ago because someone noticed a city in Japan named Usa, and started claiming that it was named that to bypass labeling rules. That rumor was never true. Labeling an imported item with a city of manufacture instead of the country of origin would be a violation of U.S. labeling rules.

While this is a comical example that people like to tout online, that hose nozzle is probably a violation of U.S. regulations regarding labeling something as "made in the USA." It depends on what the packaging said. I hope whoever bought that reported it to the FTC.

What is the standard for a product to be called Made in USA without qualification?
For a product to be called Made in USA, or claimed to be of domestic origin without qualifications or limits on the claim, the product must be "all or virtually all" made in the U.S. The term "United States," as referred to in the Enforcement Policy Statement, includes the 50 states, the District of Columbia, and the U.S. territories and possessions.
What does "all or virtually all" mean?
"All or virtually all" means that all significant parts and processing that go into the product must be of U.S. origin. That is, the product should contain no — or negligible — foreign content.

Claims like "the box was made in the USA" are for some reason oft-repeated by some people on this forum, but they're not accurate.
Labeling a box "made in the USA" because the box, not the item inside, was made in the USA would violate FTC rules.

I think the plastic liner on the water hose nozzle should be what we have made in China. The nozzle should have been made here. I hope that all changes up in the next ten years. Let China make the cheap stuff and we take back the other stuff. Lets make electronics and appliances here again.

Ok, I think we can scrap this thread. Thanks for staying on point.
I have personally seen parts and tools from Napa where the box said Made in USA, and the actual item inside said Made in China.

I am sure you are correct. If you actually read through my posts, you'd see the bearing is stamped 'Made in USA'... not just the box. Perhaps the rest of the assembly was made in China...who knows how that works.

The company I work for is a dealer for Case New Holland Industrial, who has committed to sourcing all of their bearings from the USA(for their North American markets).
