The Made in California Label Program




Like CA Grown for agricultural products, the Made in California labeling program builds consumer awareness of California’s powerhouse status as source of manufactured products and allows suppliers to easily research Made in California products and brands. The label is available to all companies that create products in California — from electronics, chemicals and biomedical devices to furniture, software, household goods, handmade items, toys, and cosmetics. If that describes your company, leverage the label to differentiate your products and create a unique selling proposition.

Man At Sewing Machine
Manufacturers and fabricators from all sectors are welcome to apply as long as you are legally authorized to do business in California:

  • sole proprietors
  • corporations
  • partnerships
  • 501(c)(3) non-profit and 501(c)(4) non-profits

The legislation’s only criteria is that each the final assembly, manufacturing or processing of each individual Made in California takes place in a manufacturing facility located in California.

This is defined in the regulation (Article 2, of Chapter 13, of Title 10 of the California Code of Regulations) as a calculation based on the California wholesale value and total product cost. The California Value-Added Share must match or exceed 51 percent of total wholesale value.

The application process will help you evaluate in real time if your product qualifies and you’ll be asked to sign a self-certified attestation to back up the accuracy of the information in your application.

We want to verify your calculation of the “California Value-Added Share” of the given produc So we’re going to ask for your direct and indirect material and labor costs generated inside and outside of California.

You can’t include packaging, marketing or research or development costs, only what it costs you to make the product and how much of that activity takes place in California.

We calculate the “Value-Added Share” that is created in California. The finished product may include parts or raw materials from elsewhere as long the California Value-Added Share is 51 percent or more of the wholesale value.

You can apply for several products at one time but your licensing agreement is issued on a per-product basis. If you come out with a new product after your licensing agreement is approved, you’ll need to apply again for the new product.

Yes, you will be charged $TBD for each product for which you apply. These fees are non-refundable. Once executed, your licensing agreement is good for three years. You can renew your license by re-applying; the associated fees may have change in the interim.

You must also pay your fees after the application is approved but before your licensing agreement is issued. We’ll walk you through this process via email.
