The father of a friend of mine was in Germany at the end of the war (Airborne), and supposedly he was trying to figure out a way to disassemble an Me-262 and ship it back.

Too bad he didn't figure it out.

Maybe it was just loaded onto the deck of a ship, lashed down, and brought over....

from the website for Wright-Patterson Air Force Base Air Force Museum for
their Me-262:

The Me 262A on display was brought to the U.S. from Germany in July 1945 for flight evaluation.
