Now I've seen it all.

If you're ashamed to display your country of origin, use some other countries name but change one tiny word in the attempt in confusing the buyer.

See if you can spot the ploy ?

PS. it's a polishing wheel for anyone that's not sure about it, but that's got nothing to do with the ploy.

Lots of things are made in China FOR the USA and the rest of the world as well

It's basically a way of meddling with your mind and that is if it's made for the USA it'll be good enough for me.

BTW China will make anything for anyone, as long as you pay for it.

I remember as a kid that some Japanese stuff had made in USA on it not made in U.S.A.

Hi Norm,

What's the difference between USA and U.S.A. ?

Cheers,

Hi BB they named a city in Japan USA, U.S.A. is 3 words United States of America requiring a full stop after each letter if wanting to be correct but nobody takes any notice of it and just assumed USA meant it was made in America. I'm not sure if the Japanese city still exists. I remember those tin toys that were obviously cheap at the time, (probably worth a fortune these days) that were obviously not American quality but had made in USA on them
BB I just googled USA Japan and I see they now spell it Usa

Hi Norm,

Very surprised that anything in Japan would ever be called USA or Usa.

Anyway that usage of "Made for USA" is all about tricking folks outside of Asia that if it's good enough for the United States of America, then it's a better quality made item than what's normally coming out of China.

Cheers,

BB, Japanese products were very much on the nose after WW2 and this was a way of getting products back to the world markets
