Final assembly in China = Made in China.
The way to get away with it is the other way around. Fabricate the guts in China to dodge the EPA. All the hazardous processes should be down somewhere else. Ship the guts over here unassembled, evacuate and seal the envelope here, flash the getter... you have U.S. made tubes.
The funny part is China has regulations more strict than RoHS... for imports into China. But then RoHS apparently doesn't apply for exports. It doesn't really matter. You can manufacture and ship some pretty toxic stuff with the proper certification.
