HRS §486-119
Rules for labeling products as made in Hawaii
This law says when you can label or advertise something as made in Hawaii. For most items, at least 51% of the wholesale value must be added in Hawaii. For perishable foods, the same 51% rule applies, but the raw materials can come from anywhere.
