Made in Hawaiʻi
Made in Hawaiʻi Website
DBEDT is creating the Made in Hawaiʻi portal. At no cost to Hawaiʻi companies, we will list your product on the Made in Hawaiʻi site.
- The Made in Hawaiʻi site is open to all manufacturers and marketplaces of Made in Hawaiʻi products with online shopping, as well as restaurant listings and farm delivery services.
- However, only products that meet the requirements to be labeled Made in Hawaiʻi set forth in §486-119, Hawaiʻi Revised Statutes (HRS), may be posted on the Made in Hawaiʻi portal site.
- Companies listing on the Made in Hawaiʻi portal site should have at least 75% of their total product offering being made in Hawaiʻi, as defined by §486-119, HRS.
- Made in Hawaiʻi labeling requirements are contained in §486-119, HRS.
- Misrepresenting a product as being from Hawaiʻi that does not meet the requirements of §486-119, HRS, is punishable by law.
How to Register
- Submit one photo and a one sentence description of the featured product(s), a representative photo of your website, and attestation that the product meets the requirements in §486-119, HRS, using the online participant registration form.
- Companies may sell more products, but should have at least 75% of their total product offering being made in Hawaiʻi, as per §486-119, HRS.

Made in Hawaiʻi Research
A Study of the Made in Hawaiʻi Brand With a Plan to Encourage and Enforce Use of the Brand
This project was made possible through funding from the State of Hawaiʻi Legislature and involved input from diverse Made in Hawaiʻi stakeholders – from Hawaiʻi manufacturers who produce and sell Hawaiʻi-made products, to Hawaiʻi residents and U.S. consumers who are buyers and potential buyers, to leaders from the Hawaiʻi State Legislature economic development committees, executive agencies, Oʻahu and neighbor island county governments, trade associations, and the private sector.
