   Hello Jay!   
      
   ** On Saturday 11.09.21 - 16:56, you wrote to me:

   Digging around the www I read the classification for "made in     
   XX" should only apply to goods that undergo final assembly "in     
   XX"   However, it sounds like "manufactured by" can apply to     
   goods that are assembled under 100% complete.  So, maybe the     
   last (and perhaps only) step this particular item gets is the     
   attachment of the UPC label in USA, and .: "manufactured by     
   MerryMakers ..Oakland CA" makes is American?   
      
   Sheesh.   
      
   Anyway.. I am astonished at how many items are manufactured and     
   assembled China.  Even a vast majority of books seem to be     
   printed and manufactured in China.
