Maybe one thing that could clear up the situation is Wally's website. The list items as imported or American

Thanks for the idea. Just checked one of our items (that is made in China, BTW). It's listed as "imported" for both country of assembly origin and parts source origin but it isn't specific on the country.

I imagine their accounting dept has to be more specific due to disclosure rules, perhaps because of the need to account for duties and such. I know we have to be very specific as to origin in our reporting as depending on where we source our goods different levels and rules apply. Where we incur duty we of course just build it into the price we charge them.

Yeah they got rid of being specific of country. Of course that became harder as the manufacturing world became global. If you actually listed every country of parts origin on a computer you'd probably list half the UN.
