Short answer: we list a product as made in the USA only when the maker publicly says so, and we link that source on the product page. If we can’t confirm a claim, we say so.
What is OnlyMadeInUSA?
OnlyMadeInUSA (bestofusastore.com) is a curated directory of 81 products from 75 brands, organized by category, state and brand. Every product links to its live Amazon listing.
What has to be true before a product is listed?
- The maker says it’s made in the USA. The claim comes from the brand’s own website or its Amazon listing, not from a guess based on where the company is headquartered.
- We record where. Each product shows the state, and the city when the maker names it, so you can shop by state.
- We link the source. Product pages include a “Source” link to the page that supports the origin claim.
- We check the listing. Each Amazon link points to a live product page that we opened and matched to the brand and product.
What does “Origin under review” mean?
Some earlier listings were labeled as made in Kentucky without a supporting source. Where public information contradicts that claim or can’t support it (for example, a brand that manufactures in another state or country), we keep the listing visible but mark it “Origin under review” and explain why.
Is “Made in USA” a legal standard?
Yes. The Federal Trade Commission requires unqualified “Made in USA” claims to mean “all or virtually all” of the product is made in the U.S. Read our plain-English guide to the FTC standard.
Who runs OnlyMadeInUSA?
OnlyMadeInUSA is a project of XENA Intelligence (XENA Intelligence Inc.), based in Louisville, Kentucky. XENA combines ecommerce agency experience with AI-visibility software to help products get discovered on marketplaces like Amazon and recommended by AI engines.
How does XENA support American companies?
- Growing on Amazon. XENA’s agency team works with consumer brands on their Amazon presence, from listing content to advertising.
- Getting recommended by AI. SearchPanel by XENA shows how a brand’s products appear when shoppers ask AI assistants such as ChatGPT, Amazon Rufus, Perplexity and Gemini, scores each product, and points to the listing fixes most likely to help.
- Keeping product data in one place. XENA connects to Amazon and Shopify stores so a brand’s catalog stays complete and consistent.
- This directory. We built OnlyMadeInUSA to give American makers one more place to be found, with each origin claim sourced and linked.
