Couple things..

He didn't say it was made in America.

Importing several hundred units is FAR FAR cheaper per-unit than it is to import a single one. Counting price conversion and shipping, the kit would cost around $7000 before any import taxes. That's an extra $3K-$4K USD! So no, we can't "just import" one on a whim. That's not how global trade works.
