Take Action to Find, Support, and Promote Made in the USA Products & American Manufacturing

What’s a patriotic shopper to do when so much feels like it’s made in China?
The answer is simple: commit. Every time you choose a Made in the USA product, you support American jobs, local communities, and stronger manufacturing. Here’s how to put that commitment into action.

1. Make the Commitment

Commit to making an effort to find and buy products made in the USA.

Promise yourself—and silently, your community and your country—that you’ll make a fair effort to buy American. That means pausing before you hit “Buy Now” on Amazon, checking the label, and choosing USA-made whenever possible. Need reminders? Sign up for our mailing list and we’ll nudge you along the way.

2. Start Here First

We’ve done the hard work for you: zooming in on labels, digging through “about us” pages, reaching out to companies, and flagging brands that manufacture both here and abroad. You only need to take one step—bookmark Made in the USA Matters and come here first for trusted links to verified American-made products.

3. Join the Community

Follow Made in the USA Matters on social media and join our Facebook group. Ask questions, share your finds, and swap recommendations with other Americans committed to buying USA-made products. Together, we keep each other accountable—and inspired.

4. Spread the Word

Once you’ve joined, invite your friends! Share our posts when you know someone is searching for a particular product. If you’re unsure whether we have a directory for it, direct them to our home page. A quick share might be what turns another shopper into a supporter.

5. Follow Hashtags

On Instagram, follow #madeintheusa, #americanmade, and #buyamerican. I’ve discovered countless small businesses this way—brands I never would’ve found otherwise. Follow your favorites, shop from them directly, and keep American dollars working here at home.

6. Give American-Made Gifts

Birthdays, Christmas, Valentine’s Day—make them USA-made holidays. I once bought superhero pajamas for all the kids and grandkids. Why not make it a tradition? When you give American-made gifts, you’re sharing your values.

7. Always Check Labels

Even here on Made in the USA Matters, I encourage you to double-check tags and descriptions. Companies move production and change ownership all the time. We update constantly, but a second look never hurts.

8. Reach Out to Brands

Not sure where something is made? Email or call. Let brands know you want American manufacturing. Even if the answer is no, you’ve planted a seed. And who knows—you might even get a coupon for asking.

9. Shop Local, But Ask Questions

Local isn’t always American-made. Ask politely if products or materials are sourced in the USA. Your curiosity shows demand—and demand drives change

10. Return Imports When Misrepresented

If a product arrives that has a misleading “Made in USA” claim, don’t just shrug. Return it, report it as “not as described,” and choose differently. Your return sends a message that honesty—and American jobs—matter.

Bonus Step!

Help us grow the movement. Share this page with your friends. Post it on Facebook, pin it on Pinterest, and tag us on Instagram. Every share makes a difference. Together, we can shift dollars back into American hands and keep manufacturing strong. It starts with one promise—and one product at a time.

  1. Just wondering if anyone has looked at Fuller Brush? I believe a lot of their products are still made in the USA.

  2. For over 15 years I have made an effort to buy American, and have bought very little made in china. My friends have always thought me weird but now most of them also do the same.

  3. How do I get my products listed here, I see nothing for that so I’m not even sure how this site works exactly except it’s an affiliate site that makes money on conversion links.

  4. Hello!
    Thank you for putting this website together!
    I always try to buy local, American but it is challenging. Having a website listing all US-made products is awesome! Right now, I’m looking for a stainless steel stockpot, and according to a Google search there are US-made vendors out there, like All-Clad and Viking – I’m wondering why they’re not showing you your website/database? Thank you!

  9. I make racks that hold quilt rulers. The racks are made here but I have to purchase the hooks from China as I cannot find them any where else. Would I be considered an American product?

  10. Northwind Tools LLC makes a Great USA manufactured firewood pickup tool. The tool eliminates deep bending especially for older folks who enjoy and use firewood. The “Pinch A Log” is laser cut, welded, powder coated and assembled using stainless steel hardware right here in North Idaho. The company is owned by a USAF Retired Master Sergeant. The handles are custom made in Detroit.

  11. The amazing PINCH-A-LOG makes easy work of picking up, throwing or stacking firewood with NO Deep Bending. This tool allows you to handle firewood, split or whole, 6 to 26 inches, and most firewood can be moved using only one hand.

    The Pinch-A-Log is made here in North Idaho USA by American hands and the company is owned by a USAF retired Veteran. You can expect the best workmanship with a tool that is laser cut, powder-coated, with stainless-steel nuts, bolts, washers and handles are made in Detroit MI.

    The Pinch-A-Log is made to last a lifetime! Owners of this simple but amazing tool have said it helps save their back, knees and hips in all areas of firewood handling.

    There is nothing like enjoying a body-warming wood fire and nothing that makes using firewood easier than the PINCH-A-LOG.
