Default Assembled in Japan vs US?

So I have owned 4 or 5 hondas, all in the state of Florida, built by Honda of America. I just acquired another, except this ones got a made in Japan tag under the hood and the first of the VIN is a j. Obviously Honda is a Japanese company, no surprise Honda’s are built there. I just thought it was interesting I had one here in Florida, nothing special about it at all except it’s built overseas. I was curious are there any differences in the design being built here or there?

What year and trim Civic. Some sedans were indeed made in Japan (JHM).

Also curious if suppliers and QC etc were the same between the two countries.

Also curious, (doubt it) if perhaps it being assembled in Japan makes it worth any more? I suppose it depends who you sell it to. I bought the car to flip I’ve got it just about ready to go and im wondering if I should even mention in the listing that it is an import.
