I'm no lawyer but I think about the rules of 'country of origin' a lot because I wouldn't be surprised to find that brands will argue that adding their metal brand plate + packaging is what gives the product its final identity and with that can easily avoid having to label it as made in China

I’m loving Chinese manufacturers airing luxury brand’s dirty laundry on TikTok.

Not to mention that I've seen 'made in the USA' products that, if you removed their plastic coating, showed that the inside was completely made in China, nothing surprises me anymore.
This topic has come up at my work, a furniture company, about what would be needed to class a product as made outside of china etc to counter the tariffs
There are all sorts of funny little loopholes and they seem to change per country/economic region on top of that. Fun times.
