Selling in California?

Merchandise labelled “Made in U.S.A.”, “Made in America”, “U.S.A.” or similar is sold in California only if no part of it was entirely or substantially made outside the United States, apart from foreign parts worth at most 5% of the final wholesale value (10% if they cannot be had domestically)

Must meet the conditions of BPC 17533.7(a): no person may sell or offer for sale in California merchandise on which, or on whose container, the words “Made in U.S.A.,” “Made in America,” “U.S.A.,” or similar words appear if the merchandise or any article, unit, or part of it has been entirely or substantially made, manufactured, or produced outside the United States. (b): foreign articles, units or parts worth not more than 5 percent of the final wholesale value are allowed; (c): up to 10 percent if the manufacturer shows it can neither produce them in the United States nor obtain them from a domestic source (cost is not a reason). (d): does not apply to merchandise sold for resale to consumers outside California.
