"Made in" laws can be "hacked." For example, I can purchase fully manufactured printed circuit board assemblies in Taiwan or China. I then ship those boards to Singapore where I load firmware and do all my testing. I can then say that the products were "Made in Singapore" because the value of the firmware is greater than the entire hardware BoM.

The above example comes from a colleague who used to work in the SSD business.
