I remember hearing this story when I was growing up in America. Back then most goods bearing the label "Made in Japan" were considered inferior to those labelled "Made in USA". Hence it was claimed that Japanese goods were being exported via a small nearby island called Usa so they could legitimately bear the label "Made in USA". I doubt it's really a true story, though - probably just another urban myth.
