CBP country-of-origin marking for imported articles (19 U.S.C. 1304; 19 CFR part 134)
Every article of foreign origin, or its container, imported into the US must be marked in a conspicuous place, as legibly, indelibly and permanently as the nature of the article permits, with the English name of the country of origin so an ultimate purchaser can see it, unless an exception applies. Marking is best done at manufacture, for example worked into the article. Containers of articles excepted from marking must still carry the country of origin unless the container is also excepted.
A product may be labeled "Made in USA" without qualification only if its final assembly or processing occurs in the US, all significant processing occurs in the US, and all or virtually all ingredients or components are made and sourced in the US. Labeling a product Made in USA when it does not meet that standard is an unfair or deceptive act under section 5 of the FTC Act. The rule took effect August 13, 2021.

California CARB composite wood formaldehyde ATCM (17 CCR 93120-93120.12)
California's Airborne Toxic Control Measure sets formaldehyde limits for hardwood plywood, particleboard and MDF sold in California as panels or in finished goods, and it reaches fabricators, importers, distributors and retailers as well as panel producers. Introduced in two phases between 2009 and 2013, it has allowed only Phase 2 compliant products to be sold in California since January 2014. CARB accepts TSCA Title VI labeling and supplier statements, but where CARB and EPA requirements differ the stricter one applies to products sold in California, for example CARB requires finished goods to be labeled as containing Phase 2 compliant composite wood regardless of the amount.
