I don't suppose you are speaking in an official capacity as a spokesman for Fiocchi USA????
SAAMI standards compliance is strictly voluntary, not required by law! Fiocchi is perfectly free to load ammunition to CIP standards if they choose to. While a bit higher pressure than SAAMI Standard pressure the CIP standard is generally not up to SAAMI +P levels of pressure. Whether they do with ammunition loaded in the US I don't know. I do know that their .44 Magnum, .357 Magnum, and .32 ACP that I have shot is hotter than the usual run of domestic ammunition! The 60 gr. .32 ACP chronographed at 1.120 FPS from my Walther PP.
