Sounds like Ford putting seats in the back of their vans so they could pay less tax when importing them from Mexico, then removing them before they're sold. Looks like they've now been fined, but they got away with it for a while.
This was also the reason for the (in)famous BRAT seats:

Technically the ones they got in hot water for were from EU to get around the Chicken Tax.
