Made in USA (or made in IL)
<p>I am making a printed circuit board.  The board was designed in Illinois, and it will be manufactured locally by a company also in IL, and it will be assembled (boards cut and components soldered) locally, in IL.  However, the components that are soldered to the board are manufactured throughout the world (i.e., the resistors, capacitors and integrated circuits (ICs)).  Some are manufactured by US companies, and some are even made here in the US, but the majority of the components are manufactured outside of the the US.</p>
<p>I would like to print on the board 'Made in USA' or 'Made in IL, USA' or some variant of that.  But I know that the laws are very strict due to historical abuses.  Since most of the parts are made outside of the US, can I do this legally?</p>
<p>Thanks in advance</p>

<p>It is unlikely you can call this &quot;Made in USA.&quot;  The standard for marking a product as USA is that &quot;all or virtually all&quot; of it be made in the U.S.  This is different for markings for export.</p>
<p>If you are manufacturing something YOU need to learn this stuff.  Dig in to the following website:</p>
