I remember for cars they used a value added formula to determine USA content.
This was important for trucks that had higher tariffs for imported trucks. It
had to be more than 50 percent but I do not remember how much more.

I search all the time for "Made in U.S.A." stuff and it is getting extremely
difficult to find it. And when it is found, it is usually the high-dollar
premium stuff. Case in point: A couple of years ago I was shopping for a gas
grill. I was determined to purchase a gas grill made in the U.S.A. Well I
could find such an animal, but they were in the $1500 - 3,000 price range, far
outside my $400 -600 budget for the grill. So I ended up purchasing a Kenmore
from Sears, made where? Yep, China. I even called grill manufacturers like
Char Broil, only to find that they did, indeed, make certain models in the
U.S.A., but that these models were their high dollar models. The affordable
grills from the same company were made in the orient.
