I remember for cars they used a value added formula to determine USA content. 
This was important for trucks that had higher tariffs for  imported trucks. It 
had to be more than 50 percent but I do not remember how much more.

Question #2 And when you find something "Made in the USA" are all the parts 
Made 
in the USA?

I search all the time for "Made in U.S.A." stuff and it is getting extremely 
difficult to find it.  And when it is found, it is usually the high-dollar 
premium stuff.  Case in point:  A couple of years ago I was shopping for a gas 
grill.  I was determined to purchase a gas grill made in the U.S.A.  Well I 
could find such an animal, but they were in the $1500 - 3,000 price range, far 
outside my $400 -600 budget for the grill.  So I ended up purchasing a Kenmore 
from Sears, made where?  Yep, China.  I even called grill manufacturers like 
Char Broil, only to find that they did, indeed, make certain models in the 
U.S.A., but that these models were their high dollar models.  The affordable 
grills from the same company were made in the orient.
