First I have noticed with genuine gaskets from USA into Oz. Have only ever seen parts with made in Japan on the label as always seen from Australian dealers.

Recently ordered intake throttle body to inlet manifold gasket to be told ex Japan. Days later told none left in mother land either. A quick look to see plentiful supply in USA. When I can arrange affordable transit and get them in my hands gonna bet made in USA, or old stock

Most likely to be NOS.

It would help if I could add a photo, but no Dave, the labels are very new current day sort of in black print, source country USA

Wow, how odd.  I don't remember ever seeing any other than Japan.

Some Legacy parts are USA made - I think they started making the headlight assemblies either here or Mexico, etc. Saves on shipping from Japan since the plant is in Indiana. 

I've never encountered anything for EA's made in the USA. Subaru didn't start building cars here till 90.

And I suppose none of those US built were EA platform. Great bit of info GD

 

Gonna bump this to the top to make it an easy find to add a photo

 

I thought this might be a topic of interest

There we go...uploading as I type

I'm not sold on those items being made in the states - country of origin doesn't necessarily mean made in that country. Could just mean it's been sold from that country's market.

Rock auto fills in their invoices with Japan, China, Czech, USA as source country.

Subaru of America is it's own entity and they could have had them made for our market if the demand was great enough. They have oil filters made here for example. To avoid importing them by the truckload from overseas. Honeywell makes them for the US market while Tokyo-Roki makes them for Japan. 

Or they could have been repackaged possibly. The distribution warehouse can print those stickers with any part number they want on them. May simply be a reprint and all their labels say that. 

It honestly means nothing. 

We still make things?
