What is berry compliant?

Berry Compliant refers to a set of government regulations that require textile and clothing items to be made using materials and manufacturing processes that originate from within the United States. This is a requirement for all items sold to the U.S. military. These regulations were put in place in 1941, during World War II, to ensure that the U.S. Defense Department had a reliable supply of domestically produced goods. The Berry Amendment, which was passed by Congress in 1941, requires the U.S. military to purchase textiles, clothing, and other equipment that is made in the U.S. from U.S.-sourced materials, with some limited exceptions. The intent behind the Berry Amendment is to support U.S. manufacturing and reduce dependence on foreign suppliers, thereby strengthening national security.
