Additional information related to some RPR products possibly not compliant to the ARRA:
It has and is RPR Products, Inc. preference and policy to purchase raw materials from USA manufacturers when price, availability and quality permits. Some of our raw materials and products are of foreign origin and therefore, RPR Products Inc. cannot 100% certify that all of these products comply with section 1605 of the ARRA, even though “SUBSTANTIAL TRANSFORMATION” has taken place in our manufacturing facility. Stainless steel wire, hex mesh and screws are sourced globally, simply because of price, quality and availability.

Upon inquiry/order placement, please inform the RPR Products, Inc. customer service account associate that the products you are requesting need to be USA made and must meet section 1605 of the ARRA. At that time, we will search our inventory or outsource a USA made product (if available) to meet your needs. Price, availability and minimums may apply in some cases.
