"Made in U.S.A.", when it is verified as true, carries a lot of retail sales weight in Asia.
For example, U.S.A. made Serta mattresses are valued...and expensive. Just try and find bed sheet sets...arrrrgh!
A lot of other real "Made in U.S.A." products are preferred and not just by the "rich."
CostCo does good bidness here on Taiwan with its U.S.A. made stuff.

A cousin who travels frequently in China tells me that US made labels and tags are often displayed on furniture, clothing, and other products as a sign of status. My cousin assures me that US made furniture is in fact of higher quality and is much sought after in China despite higher prices.
