Importers face an array of confusing regulations when it comes to labeling products. For example, an imported product might not have to be marked with a foreign country of origin for Customs purposes but could be sold to the U.S. government because it meets the requirements of the Buy American Act. However, just because it is eligible for sale to the U.S. government does not necessarily mean it could carry a “Made in the USA” label, because it might not satisfy the relevant Federal Trade Commission rules. James Kearney, an attorney with Womble Carlyle Sandridge & Rice in the firm’s Washington, D.C. office counsels clients with respect to country of origin determinations, U.S. Customs laws and FTC “Made in USA” standards for labeling and marketing. He sorts through the regulatory challenges and answers questions during this one-hour webinar.
