"American products" generally refer to goods that are made or manufactured in the United States. These products can span across virtually every industry. Here’s a breakdown of what counts as an American product:
1. Manufacturing Location
- The product is assembled or produced in the U.S.
- Even if some parts come from abroad, it’s still considered American-made if the final assembly is done domestically.
2. Ownership
- Some people consider a product "American" if it's made by a U.S.-based company, even if it's manufactured overseas.
