Ahhhh the stories I can tell about "Made in America" and what it really means. I know a major company that ships their product in two pieces and has their distribution company here in the states put them together with a spring pin. It's now "Made in America" as they "added" a key piece of the product here in the states. At the same time, that is also the way companies here in the USA can ship and get passed tarrif laws elsewhere from an assembly standpoint.
