United States Code, Title 19, Section 1304
I believe the use of the term "container" is describing the shipping box/packaging that the foreign-made item resides in, during it's importation into the US.

...there are (many) exceptions to marking country of origin. One that might apply to an importedmagazine assembly, for a US manufactured firearm, might be this---
" the manufacturer or processor in the United States who converts or combines the imported article into the different article will be considered the "ultimate purchaser" of the imported article within the contemplation of section 304(a), Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (19 U.S.C. 1304(a)), and the article shall be excepted from marking. "
Per Title 19, Part 134, Country of Origin Marking: Section 134.35 (a),
