garments used to be made in russia/china/vietnam and gets imported under Korean country of origin... the companies that do get busted... gets blacklisted by customs and going to pretty much go through hell to import again...
This is overly simplified. An example I can relate to since I am a watchmaker is this: In order for a watch or watch movement to say "Swiss Made" at least 50% of the cost associated to manufacturing the watch must have come while in Switzerland. You could have a watch in which 1/2 the components are actually manufactured in china, sent back to Switzerland for assembly, polishing, regulating and by the time you are done if you have accounted for 50% of the value you can then deem it "Swiss Made". While tricky, there are similar rules for many different industries.
