4th Of July Goods: 8 Products Made In United States You Need To Try [PHOTOS]

It's pretty hard to escape the "Made in China" stamp these days, and sometimes we ask ourselves if there are any good products still made in North America. The answer is: YES! Behind the European Union, the U.S. is the world's second-largest importer. Acording to the Foreign Trade Census, in 2014, United States imports of goods and services topped $2.85 trillion.

Even though some of the most iconic products associated with North America aren't made in the U.S., some companies will surprise you with goods that you might assume are made overseas, but in fact are manufactured domestically.

Enjoy and celebrate the bold stripes, bright stars and brave hearts with eight products made right here, in the U.S.A!
