I have been told some enter the USA assembled ready to sell. Then some are sent as parts and assembled in the USA. But all the parts are imported from Brazil. If this is wrong please let me know.

IIRC, the less expensive models (GI Series...) are assembled in Brazil,The more expensive
models are assembled here in the U.S.Origin of the parts,I am uncertain about.
