Dreaming of an Amazon Made in USA Filter?
Isn’t it frustrating trying to find made in USA products on Amazon?
You go to Amazon to search for products made in the USA, type in what you’re looking for, then add “made in the USA”. You’re doing a good thing, trying to support American manufacturing, and what do you get? A bunch of brands you can’t pronounce!
Well, maybe Amazon knows better than you, so you pick a product, read the description, and can quickly tell that English is the second language. But you don’t make hasty decisions, so you scroll down to the product details and sure enough, “made in China”. It happens every time.
So, how do you find made in the USA products on Amazon? Is there an Amazon made in USA filter where Amazon will show you USA made products only? Is there a secret to help you find American-made products on Amazon?
I’m glad you asked.
The Easiest Way to Find Made in USA Products on Amazon
I’d say we don’t want to toot our own horn, but that’s just not true. TOOT TOOT!
The simple answer is to start here every time you shop. There is no secret Amazon made in USA filter, but we’re the next best thing if we do say so ourselves. It’s as close as we can get to being like Amazon but made in the USA.
Made in the USA Matters is a directory of brands and products organized by category that are made right here in the USA. And we’ve worked super hard to make it crazy simple for you to find and buy American-made products on Amazon.
Let’s say you’re looking for a cupcake pan made in the USA. Just go to Housewares from the pull-down menu. From there, you’ll find the appropriate sub-category. In this case, it’s cookware & bakeware. That link takes you to every post we’ve ever published featuring American-made cookware and bakeware.
But if you aren’t up for browsing, no problem! We’ll get you directly to the directory. Say that real fast 5 times. Directly to the directory.
Anyhoo.
As you can see in the screenshot above, the headline just below the list of subcategories reads “American-Made Product Directories.” The links there include every directory on Made in the USA Matters within the sub-category.
You can go straight to Bakeware Made in the USA without passing go. Err, at least without scrolling through all the kitchenwares you don’t need right now.
But we’re Made in the USA Matters, not Amazon, right? How are we going to help you avoid products made in China on Amazon? (I know what you’re really after *wink*)
Give me just another minute here, and I’ll show you how Made in the USA Matters makes it super simple to find Amazon products made in the USA. And not made in China *ahem*.
How Do I Find American Made Products on Amazon with Made in the USA Matters?
Now that you’re in one of our American-Made Brand Directories, in this example, Bakeware Made in the USA, you’ll just scroll down the list of every brand that makes those products in the USA.
It’s the same whether you’re looking for bakeware, t-shirts, bedding, shampoo, lawnmowers, socks, razors, dinnerware, jeans, mayonnaise, tires, dog treats, trash bags, pencils, nail polish, cowboy boots, a snow shovel, or a cell phone case.
You get the idea.
Made in the USA Matters has vetted every brand by reading “about us” pages and FAQs, digging into product descriptions, and reaching out personally via email, phone, and more. If the brand makes products in the United States, we list them.
But here’s the best part for you. We check every single brand we list to see if its products are available on Amazon. If they are, we link directly to their Official Amazon Store. If they don’t have an actual storefront but do have American-made products on Amazon, we link right to the already vetted search results.
No more getting inaccurate results dominated by China, and no more digging through product descriptions. We’ve done all the legwork for you so you can find products made in the USA on Amazon fast and easy. How about that?
But what if we don’t have a directory for the product you are looking for? We are adding to the website every day. In the meantime, we can show you how to search American-made brands on Amazon yourself.
However, it’s going to take some extra time. You’re committed though, right?
Top Tips to Find Made in the USA Products on Amazon
I typed “Socks Made in USA” into the Amazon search bar. The image below shows the first 4 results Amazon returned to me. Only two of these brands are actually made in the USA. You’ll probably get less (if any) unless you’ve already looked at or purchased the item.
I was retargeted because I recently viewed these brands while building the directory for Socks Made in USA. Let me know in the comments if you get the same results. You didn’t, did you?
Anyway, let’s take a look.
This Amazon search result is one of the hardest if you aren’t familiar with the brands, because none of the titles say “made in USA”.
So what will we look for to save some time?
Start by looking at the brand name. Can you pronounce it? Does it make sense with the way words and names are formed using the Latin alphabet for the English language? Or does it look like this?
- YblOurv
- ZdLook
- vRbyWo
You get the idea. If you want to avoid products made in China on Amazon, passing them right up is a quick way to filter out some results.
Let’s take a closer look at Maggie’s.
There it is. Right on the label. Made in U.S.A. Always the easiest. But not always that easy.
If none of your results say “Made in USA” in the title or on the packaging in the image, you’ll have to click the product and dig deeper.
The first place I look is to the right of the product image. Not all brands with products made in the USA on Amazon will say so, but many do, so it’s a good place to start.
If this part of the page doesn’t include made in the USA in the description, but you still have an inkling it might be American-made, you can scroll down to the product description. Maggie’s tells us that these socks are manufactured in North Carolina, USA.
Last but not least, the internet can be a helpful bunch when we’re at our best. Check the questions or ask your own.
I moved on from socks and typed “Jeans Made in the USA” into the Amazon search bar. No results were made in the USA. But that just wasn’t interesting enough for me. So I filtered it to women’s clothing.
Aha! Busted! I get to give you two tips for the price of one. Yeah, I know they’re all free tips but 2 for 1 is still fun!
These often intentionally deceptive products are a huge pet peeve of mine. We’ll get to that in a second—first, the questions.
You can see this product has 42 answered questions. When you click on that, you can search for the questions by keyword. I use “made” and “manufactured”. Pulls it right up if anyone has asked and answered about where a specific product is made.
I did both for you.
As you can see, some people received shirts made in Vietnam and others received shirts made in Bangladesh. It’s not uncommon for a single product to be produced in multiple locations.
But here is what really gets my goat!
Brands will intentionally include “USA” in their Amazon store names to mislead both the algorithm and customers into believing their products are made in the USA.
Don’t get me started on American brands that make foreign products and blather about American values, then put an American flag on their page and the words “made with pride” or something like that. Grrr. That conversation is for another day.

Calm down and focus, Michelle.
You’ve really got to put the effort in. The good news is that we’ve done most of it for it for you. The only thing I ask in return is for you to help another when you can, especially in the comments 🙂
One Last Tip to Shop American Made on Amazon
Think of Amazon as a mall. Many American brands have Amazon storefronts, with new ones being added every day. Check out our lists of retailers offering USA-made products with official Amazon stores.
And remember, if a brand doesn’t have an Amazon storefront, it doesn’t mean their USA-made products aren’t on Amazon. They can add their products without a storefront and/or get added by individual retailers.
Here, at Made in the USA Matters, we find them all.
So whether you’re looking for American-made sheets on Amazon, American-made clothing on Amazon, American-made flags on Amazon, or any of the other hundreds of thousands of American-made products on Amazon, we’re going to get you there the easy way.

THANK YOU! Thank you for the time you’ve spent to compile this information. I make active attempts to purchase American made products, and Amazon does NOT make it easy. I’m glad I stumbled upon your website.
I often search for “country of origin” on products I’m interested in, and Amazon doesn’t always list that information. I think it should be a requirement.
Whenever I shop on Amazon, I intentionally try to focus on American made products. Amazon does NOT make it easy. As an American company itself, I wish Amazon would have a “Made in the USA” tab so customers can shop there easily.
I’m glad I came across your website! Thank you for the time you’ve spent to compile this information.
Excellent – When I’m looking for well made products that last a lifetime, I always start with a product that’s made in the USA.
Yes you can find lots of cheap crap that’s made in China (or other countries). But why throw your money away on shoddy goods that don’t last, don’t hold their value, and aren’t well made?
I would rather support American jobs, American manufacturing, and American families. It took me a while to figure this out. I used to get the cheap stuff first, and worry about the quality later.
Eventually I realized that I was wasting my money, and I just ended up buying replacements as soon as the lowest priced, crappiest quality product fell apart. This index has proven very valuable to me.
Thank you for your hard work. I have stopped many times in stores to research where items were made. I am big on authentic “Made in the U.S.A” items. This is a great helps and glad I found your website. I also read canned goods and other food products.
So frustrating! Thank you for being a patriot and publishing this information. Sometimes, there is no country of origin listed on Amazon products. I think this should be a requirement! I, too, focus on made in the USA products. Amazon needs a filter for this!! Once again, thanks!
Thank you! I just stumbled onto your site after searching for hours for medical tape made in USA. Everything you said is true. I have run into the same problems. Today I thought I had found my item. It was a Chinese company in Baltimore, Maryland. Sure, made in USA BUT by a Chinese company. We consumers cannot fight this on our own. We need some help from our government. Our Senator keeps telling us to buy from USA. Not easy when made in China is all we are offered in our local stores.
You seriously deserve an award for this. I hate nothing more than searching for American made products, especially for my child, and Amazon shows me a crap ton of garbage from China that probably contains lead paint and other poison. I’m an American to the bone and I fully support the hard working folks in this great country. Thank you for this!
Thank YOU!
