Norco was US but now made in Taiwan It still may be a good jack.
Imports that you see everywhere are cheap ,leak loose pressure etc and should be avoided.

I would love to buy all US made products, including hydraulic jacks. Unfortunately, there isn't much of a selection and those that are available (do you have any brand names), way too costly 1-2X year use. I have 2 Harbor Freight 12 Ton jacks that work just fine and have for over 10 years. Whatever the brand or country point of origin, I always use at some sort of rigid safety device as I don't trust
ANY hydraulic device to remain set in place.
