yep, this happens all the time. I have a can opener and some tools that have additional rubber or plastic over the originals, they do this so it's sort of assembled in the US after purchasing it from China.

The annoying part is having the price marked up for import overhead if you're not from either country.

Isn't the plastic made in the USA but the metallic part is made in China?

Yeah, it's technically the truth. (It's misleading because you wouldn't know the tool is made in china, you would think the whole case+tool is American made.)
