Default with or without 'the'

Hi, Teachers.

I usually see 'the USA' and 'the UK'. But in the brand, I can only see 'made in USA'. Could you tell me when I have to add 'the' and when I have not to?

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

"the United States of America, the United States, the U.S., the U.S.A., USA."

You can choose each of them. Whenever you add "the", you should use "U.S.A" as the abbreviation of "United States of America" instead of "USA".

Need more discussions from the American.

Not a teacher.

Best wishes.
