Apply Now to the Made in California Labeling & Marketing Program
Start by submitting your application through our online Application Portal.
Here’s how it works:
- Use your email to create a secure login key.
- Create an account for your business in the Portal; you’ll only be able to submit a single application for your business and you’ll remain the contact person for that account.
- Submit required business and product information. It takes about 20 minutes but you can save it and come back later to finish it.
- The Made in California Program team will review your application and notify you whether your business is eligible or ineligible. We may ask for more information to determine your eligibility.
- If approved, you can return to the Portal, pay any applicable fees, sign your licensing agreement and then download your Marketing Toolkit.
As part of the launch of the rogram, fees may be waived or discounted for a limited time as authorized by GO-Biz.
What Type of Businesses are Eligible?
What Products Meet the Made in California Requirements?
Any category of product may be eligible as long as:
- The final assembly, manufacturing, fabrication, or production of your products takes place in a manufacturing facility located in California.
- Your business creates and sells a final recognizable product.
- Your business adds at least 51 percent of the product’s wholesale value, based on the cost of direct labor, raw materials and components, and fixed overhead costs. Costs for R&D, packaging, or marketing can’t be included.
