  • Made in Hawaiʻi labeling requirements are contained in §486-119, HRS. Misrepresenting a product as being from Hawaii that does not meet the requirements of §486-119, HRS, is punishable by law.

Made in Hawaiʻi Research

A STUDY OF THE MADE IN HAWAI‘I BRAND WITH A PLAN TO ENCOURAGE AND ENFORCE USE OF THE BRAND

This project was made possible through funding from the State of Hawai‘i Legislature and involved input from diverse Made in Hawai‘i stakeholders – from Hawai‘i manufacturers who produce and sell Hawai‘i-made products, to Hawai‘i residents and U.S. consumers who are buyers and potential buyers, to leaders from the Hawai‘i State Legislature economic development committees, executive agencies, O‘ahu and Neighbor Island county governments, trade associations, and the private sector
