If the hubcaps were die stamped and formed in Deutschland and then chrome
plated and packaged in Taiwan they are essentially the same product after
the plating / packaging process and would most likely qualify for the
made in Deutschland marking.
Shirts made from Fabric that comes from the US are sewn up in Guatemala
and returned to the US the most value in the shirt is the fabric of US
origin so it can carry the label Made in The US.
If you want to see how confusing it is go to

Test Questions.
