What Counts as Assembled?

Designed and assembled in the USA

Over the weekend, I popped into a Hallmark shop to look for a gift for a friend. I stopped to look at some of the coffee mugs. Turning one interesting mug over to check the price, I was surprised by the marketing message on the bottom.

Designed and assembled in the USA? Designed, I get that. How does one assemble a mug after it’s been made? Does whacking the sticker on the bottom count as assembled?
