Rules for Determining the Country of Origin of a Good for Purposes of Annex 311 of the NAFTA and Rules of Origin Applicable to Imported Merchandise; Rule and Proposed Rule

SUMMARY: This document establishes the rules for determining when the

country of origin of a good is one of the parties to the North American

Free Trade Agreement for purposes of Annex 311 of that Agreement. This

agreement was implemented under the North American Free-Trade Agreement

Implementation Act, Public Law 103-182, 107 Stat. 437 (December 8,

1993).

DATES: This interim rule is effective January 1, 1994. Comments must be

received on or before April 4, 1994.

ADDRESSES: Written comments (preferably in triplicate) may be addressed

to U.S. Customs Service, 1301 Constitution Avenue, NW., Franklin Court,

Washington, DC 20229, and they may be inspected at the Regulations

Branch located at 1099 14th St. NW., Suite 4000, Washington, DC.

Regulations and Rulings (202-482-6980).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

Paragraph 1 of Annex 311 of the North American Free-Trade Agreement

(NAFTA), entitled ``Country of Origin Marking,'' provides that the

parties shall establish ``MARKING RULES'' to determine when a good is a

good of a NAFTA country, i.e., whether the country of origin of a good

is either the United States, Canada, and Mexico, for the following

purposes specified in that Annex: (1) country of origin marking; (2)

Annex 300-B (Textile and Apparel Goods); and (3) Annex 302.2 (Tariff

Elimination).

The interim regulations established in this document represent

fulfillment of the United States obligations under Annex 311. These

interim regulations will be effective on January 1, 1994, for all goods

imported into the United States for purposes of determining whether or

not the country of origin of such goods is either Canada, Mexico or the

United States.

In a separate Notice of Proposed Rulemaking published in today's

Federal Register, the Customs Service is proposing to establish

identical rules for determining the country of origin of all imported

goods for all purposes under the Customs and related laws.

The Customs Service, however, will also honor all existing written

rulings issued pursuant to part 177 of this chapter (19 CFR part 177)

during the interim period of these regulations.

Discussion of Interim Regulations

Section 102.0 Scope

Section 102.0 sets forth the purposes previously identified under

Annex 311, for which the rules in this part will be used. These rules

are considered the ``Marking Rules'' for purposes of that Annex.

Section 102.1 Definitions

Section 102.1, ``Definitions'', sets forth the definitions of terms

that will be used in part 102. It is of note that some of the defined

terms, such as ``wholly obtained or produced'' in paragraph (g) will be

used only in Sec. 102.11, ``General Rules'', while other terms, such as

the definition for ``material,'' will be used in several sections in

this part, including in many of the specific rules in Sec. 102.20. Of

special note is the definition of ``material'', another term that is

used throughout this part. Under paragraph (k), the term, ``material''

is defined as including ``parts'', ``ingredients'', subassemblies'',

and ``components'', terms which are used interchangeably in this part.

Section 102.11 General Rules

Section 102.11, ``General Rules,'' sets forth the required

hierarchy for determining country of origin under this part, unless

otherwise specified in another provision of this part. Paragraphs

(a)(1) through (a)(3) of Sec. 102.11 set forth the three common

circumstances in which the country of origin of a good is determined.

First, the country of origin can be the country in which the good is

``wholly obtained or produced'' as defined in Sec. 102.1(g). For

example, cattle born and raised in Texas are wholly obtained or

produced in the United States. If the good is not wholly obtained or

produced in a single country, paragraph (a)(2) provides that the

country of origin can be the country in which the good is produced

exclusively from domestic materials. For example, if a desk is produced

in Canada from Canadian lumber and from hardware produced in Canada

from imported steel, which under part 102, became a product of Canada,

the desk is produced in Canada ``exclusively from domestic materials.''

If, however, a good is neither wholly obtained or produced in a single

country, nor produced in a country exclusively from domestic materials,

the country of origin of a good may be determined to be the country in

which the foreign materials contained in the good met the requirements

of the specific rules provided under Sec. 102.20 for the good. For

example, imported textile rubberized thread classified under heading

5604, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS), which is

produced in Mexico from synthetic yarn of Taiwanese origin (classified

under heading 5509, HTSUS) and from Malaysian rubber thread (classified

under heading 4007, HTSUS) is a product of Mexico. The rule under

Sec. 102.20 that is applicable to the imported good (heading 5604,

HTSUS) states: ``A change to heading 5602 through 5605 from a heading

outside that group.'' Since the non-Mexican origin (i.e., foreign)

materials contained in the good were classified in headings outside the

group of headings 5602 through 5605, HTSUS, a change from these

materials to the textile rubberized thread in heading 5604, HTSUS, is

allowed, and the country in which this change occurred, i.e., Mexico,

is the country of origin.

Paragraphs (b) through (d) of Sec. 102.11, set forth the

circumstances and criteria for determining the country of origin of

goods when such determination cannot be made pursuant to

Sec. 102.11(a). Under current practice and case law, if a good is not

wholly obtained or produced in a single country and the processes to

which the foreign materials in the good were subjected, did not result

in a substantial transformation of such materials, country of origin

generally is determined on the basis of the component or material which

imparts the essential character of the good. Consistent with current

practice in this regard, paragraph (b) of Sec. 102.11 provides that

unless the good is classified under the HTSUS as a ``set'', the country

or countries of origin of the good is the country or countries of

origin of the single material that imparts the essential character of

the good. This paragraph further provides that if the single material

imparting the essential character to the good is fungible and

commingled, the country of origin may be determined on the basis of an

inventory management method, such as (``FIFO'' or ``LIFO'') as provided

under the Appendix to part 181 of the Customs Regulations.

Paragraph (c) of Sec. 102.11 reflects current practice whereby

multiple countries of origin may exist for goods that are classified as

``sets'', and for goods classified as ``mixtures'' or ``composite

goods'' to which no single component can be found to impart their

essential character. However, only the countries of origin of the

materials meriting equal consideration for determining the essential

character of the good would constitute the country or countries of

origin of the good. For example, the countries of origin of a cutlery

and dinnerware packaged set from Mexico, which includes 12 knives from

Mexico, 12 forks from Korea, 12 spoons from Taiwan, and a plastic case

from Japan would be as follows: Mexico, Taiwan and Korea. The plastic

case from Japan did not merit equal consideration in determining the

essential character of the set.

If a good is not a set, mixture or composite good and the country

of origin of the good is not determined under paragraphs (a) and (b) of

Sec. 102.11, paragraph (d) provides that the country of origin of the

good is the last country in which the good underwent production, other

than ``minor processing'' as defined in Sec. 102.1(l) or ``simple

assembly'' as defined in Sec. 102.1(h), unless the assembled materials

originate in different countries. In the latter instance, the country

of origin, indeed, will be the country of assembly even if the assembly

was simple. It is important to note, however, that the determination of

country of origin on the basis of the country in which a ``simple

assembly'' has occurred, will only be reached after it has been

concluded that no single material imparts the essential character to

the good and the good is not classified as a set, mixture or composite

good under the HTSUS.

Section 102.12 Fungible Goods

Section 102.12 sets forth the requirement that in all cases, the

country of origin of commingled fungible goods (e.g., Canadian and

Russian wheat or U.S. and Mexican raw or frozen corn), shall be the

country or countries of origin of all of the commingled goods. If,

however, direct physical identification of the country of origin is

impractical, as in Sec. 102.11(b)(2), this section allows the country

or countries of origin to be determined on the basis of an inventory

management method provided under the Appendix to part 181 of the

Customs Regulations.

Section 102.13 De Minimis

Section 102.13 also codifies a common practice in country of origin

determinations based upon the substantial transformation rule, whereby

foreign materials of de minimis amounts are disregarded in

determinations of whether the processing of foreign materials resulted

in ``a new and different article.'' Similarly, Sec. 102.13 provides

that foreign materials, which do not meet the requirements of the

specific tariff rules under Sec. 102.20 and which do not exceed the

specified minimum values or quantities, shall be disregarded for

purposes of determining whether the requirements of Sec. 102.18 are

met. Of note, however, is the fact that this provision will not apply

to many food and agricultural products provided in the first several

chapters of the HTSUS.

Section 102.14 Goods Returned

Note 2(a), Subchapter II, Chapter 98, HTSUS, provides that goods of

U.S. origin which are exported from, and returned to, the United States

after having been advanced in value or improved in condition by any

process of manufacture or other means are to be treated as ``foreign

articles'' and subject to full duty upon return to the United States,

unless otherwise exempt under that subchapter. Section 102.14

incorporates this rule of law into the general context of the rules of

origin. Under this section, any good which is advanced in value or

improved in condition outside of the United States shall not be

considered a product of the United States. Rather, the last foreign

country in which ``production'' occurred is the country of origin of

such goods. The terms ``production,'' ``advanced in value,'' and

``improved in condition'' are defined in Sec. 102.1. For example,

unassembled T-shirt components of U.S. origin, which are exported to

Mexico for assembly into T-shirts (an advancement in value and/or

improvement in condition), upon return are goods of Mexico,

notwithstanding that under Secs. 102.11(a) and 102.20, the country of

origin of the assembled T-shirts would have been determined to be of

U.S. origin. Of particular note, is the fact that when Sec. 102.14 is

applicable, it is the basis for determining origin, notwithstanding any

other provision of part 102.

In connection with this provision, certain provisions of part 134

(``Country of Origin Marking'') of this Chapter are amended. Section

134.43 is amended to allow special types of marking of goods for which

country of origin is determined under this provision. In addition,

Sec. 134.32 is amended to except from country of origin marking

requirements, non-textile goods that are exported from and returned to

the United States after having been advanced in value and improved in

condition as a result of repairs and alterations.

Section 102.15 Disregarded Materials

This section reflects existing practice by identifying those

materials normally associated with a good, which are routinely

disregarded in determining whether the good is a new and different

article of commerce. Section 102.15 codifies existing practice by

specifying those insignificant materials such as, packaging,

accessories that are classified with the good, etc., which should be

disregarded when determining whether or not the specific tariff rules

under Sec. 102.20 have been met.

Section 102.16 Goods and Its Parts; Parts of Parts

This section is intended to reconcile the new rules based upon the

tariff classification approach with the systemic problems that arise

when a good and its parts are classified in the same HTSUS heading or

subheading or where there exist a specific tariff classification for

parts which can include anything from the most minor or insignificant

part to the most highly developed subassembly. In these instances, this

section proposes to allow country of origin determinations to be made

on a case-by-case basis, as they are now. Thus, when the specific

tariff classification rule cannot be met because the good and its parts

are classified in the same heading or subheading, this rule will allow

significant operations to be recognized as conferring origin, when such

operations result in new and different article, having a new name,

character, and use. Of note is the fact that this section does not

apply to textile and apparel goods (chapters 50-63, HTSUS).

Section 102.17 Non-Qualifying Operations

This section reflects existing practice not to allow simple

operations which do not materially alter the good to cause a change in

the country of origin of the good, even though there may have been a

change in some minor aspect of the good. For example, simple packaging

of components of a set without the manufacture of any of such

components will not be allowed to make the country of origin of the

set, the country in which the packaging occurred, even if requirements

under the specific rules set forth in Sec. 102.20 were met. Also of

note in this provision is the anti-circumvention rule, which

disqualifies any operation, the sole object of which is to circumvent

the proper operation of these rules. In such instances, the operation

usually will be viewed as one having no practical business purpose and

resulting in no material change in the good.

Section 102.18 Rules of Interpretation

This section provides the interpretation of two concepts that are

common in the operation of these rules: Essential Character and General

Rules of Interpretation 2(a).

The General Rule of Interpretation (GRI) 2(a) of the HTSUS

generally provides that any reference in a heading to an article shall

be taken to include a reference to that article incomplete or

unfinished, provided that, as entered, the incomplete or unfinished

article has the essential character of the complete or finished article

(or failing to be classified as complete finished by virtue of this

rule), entered unassembled or disassembled.

Paragraph (a) clarifies that when GRI 2(a) is stated as a condition

or proviso in a specific rule, such proviso will operate to disallow

changes from a part to a unfinished good or to an unassembled good

which is classified as the good pursuant to GRI 2(a). Such changes in

classification can occur as a result of simple operations or as a

result of collecting all of the parts for a good in a single country

and such collection is classified as the good in its unassembled state

pursuant to GRI 2(a). You will note that the GRI 2(a) proviso appears

more often in the specific tariff rules for the machinery chapters, and

that this rule is specifically applicable to all of the specific rules

for chapters 84 and 85, HTSUS.

Paragraph (b) regarding ``essential character'' is included in the

Rules of Interpretation and not under Sec. 102.1 Definitions, because

of its significant place in the hierarchy of these rules. It is the

``essential character'' concept which is used to determine country of

origin, whenever a good is not wholly obtained or produced in a single

country or does not meet the specific tariff rules in Sec. 102.20. For

purposes of promoting uniformity in these determinations, this

provision includes as examples, the specific factors identified in the

Explanatory Notes for General Rule of Interpretation 3(b) of the HTSUS,

which have been applied for nearly five years. Of particular note,

however, is the fact that this provision expressly requires that one

first look to the origin of the material that did not meet the

requirement under the specific rules in determining which material

imparts the ``essential character'' of a good. If there is a single

material that imparts the essential character of a good and that

material originates in a single country, then by operation of

Sec. 102.11(b), the country of origin of that material, will be the

country of origin of the good, unless the good is classified as a set.

Section 102.19 NAFTA Preference Override

This provision is only applicable to goods for which a claim for

duty preference under the NAFTA has been made. Thus, if a good is not

covered by a NAFTA certificate of origin, this provision is not

applicable in any way. The provision ensures that in the event that the

application of the rules under Sec. 102.11 (a) or (b) results in a good

not being determined to be a good of a single NAFTA party (Mexico,

Canada or United States), the country of origin of such good, if

claimed for NAFTA preference, will be the last NAFTA country in which

the good underwent any ``production'' other than ``minor processing''.

Both ``production'' and ``minor processing'' are defined in Sec. 102.1.

Section 102.20 Specific Tariff Rules

Section 102.20 presents the specific tariff classification changes

and/or other operations, which are specifically required in order for

country of origin to be determined on the basis of operations performed

on the foreign materials contained in a good. This section, which is

applicable only to goods that are not ``wholly obtained or produced

entirely in a single country'' or are not produced in a single country

exclusively from domestic materials, codifies the current ``substantial

transformation'' standard. The rules in this section are set forth for

each HTSUS chapter. The applicable rule is determined by the HTSUS

tariff classification that is applicable to the finished good at the

time the country of origin determination is being made. The specific

rules for certain HTSUS chapters contain notes which govern the

operation of the rules specified thereunder. See, for example,

Sec. 102.20(k), the specific tariff rules for section XI--Chapters 50-

63, HTSUS, and Sec. 102.20(f), the specific tariff rules for certain

chemical chapters in Section VI, HTSUS.

Finally, it is important to note the specific rules do not operate

in a vacuum. All of these rules are subject to the restrictions which

appear in other sections of this part, such as Sec. 102.17 ``Non-

Qualifying Operations'' and section 102.14 ``Goods Returned.''

Comments

Before adopting these interim regulations as a final rule,

consideration will be given to any written comments timely submitted to

Customs. Comments submitted will be available for public inspection in

accordance with the Freedom of Information Act (5 U.S.C. 552),

Sec. 1.4, Treasury Department Regulations (31 CFR 1.4), and

Sec. 103.11(b), Customs Regulations (19 CFR 103.11(b)), on regular

business days between the hours of 9 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. at the

Regulations Branch, Office of Regulations and Rulings, U.S. Customs

Service, Franklin Court, 1099 14th Street, NW., Suite 4000, Washington,

DC.

Comments submitted in response to this Federal Register document,

need not be duplicated in response to the Notice of Proposed Rulemaking

document relating to the Rules of Origin published in today's Federal

Register. Comments in response to one document will be considered

during the review of both documents.

Inapplicability of Notice and Delayed Effective Date Requirements, the

Regulatory Flexibility Act, and Executive Order 12866

Pursuant to the provisions of 5 U.S.C. 553(a), public notice is

inapplicable to these interim regulations because they are within the

foreign affairs function of the United States. A failure to have

regulations in place, setting forth the procedures implementing the

preferential tariff treatment and related provisions of the North

American Free Trade Agreement, on the date the North American Free

Trade Agreement Implementation Act is effective, January 1, 1994, would

provoke undesirable international consequences. In addition, because

these regulations establish procedures which the public needs to know

in order to claim the benefit of a tariff preference under the North

American Free Trade Agreement Implementation Act, it is determined

pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(B), that notice and public procedures are

impracticable, unnecessary, and contrary to the public interest.

Furthermore, for the above reasons, it is determined that good cause

exists under the provisions of 5 U.S.C. 553 (d)(1) and (d)(3) for

dispensing with a delayed effective date. Because no notice of proposed

rulemaking is required for interim regulations, the provisions of the

Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.) do not apply. Because

this document involves a foreign affairs function of the United States

and implements an international agreement, it is not subject to the

provisions of E.O. 12866.

Subpart B--Rules of Origin

Sec. 102.11 General rules.

(a) The country of origin of a good is the country in which:

(1) The good is wholly obtained or produced;

(2) The good is produced exclusively from domestic materials; or

(3) Each foreign material incorporated in that good undergoes an

applicable change in tariff classification set out in Sec. 102.20 and

satisfies any other applicable requirements of that section, and all

other applicable requirements of these rules are satisfied.

(b) Except for a good that is specifically described in the

Harmonized System as a set, or is classified as a set pursuant to

General Rule of Interpretation 3, where the country of origin cannot be

determined under paragraph (a), the country of origin of the good:

(1) Is the country or countries of origin of the single material

that imparts the essential character of the good, or

(2) If the material that imparts the essential character of the

System.

(b) Paragraph (a) does not apply to a foreign material incorporated

production, other than minor processing. However, if the good undergoes

only minor processing outside the United States, the country of origin

of the good is the last country in which the good underwent production,

including minor processing.

Sec. 102.15 Disregarded materials.

because:

(1) The good was imported into the country in an unassembled or

disassembled form but was classified as an assembled good pursuant to

General Rule of Interpretation 2(a) of the Harmonized System, the

country of origin of a good is the country in which the good was

produced provided that the production of the good results in a

substantial transformation of those parts; or

(2) The heading for the good provides for both the good itself and

its parts and is not further subdivided into subheadings, or the

subheading for the good provides for both the good itself and its

parts, the country of origin of a good is the country in which the good

was produced provided that the production of the good results in a

substantial transformation of those parts.

(b) If a subassembly and its parts are classified together in a

parts heading that is not further subdivided into subheadings or in a

parts subheading, the country of origin of the subassembly is the

country in which the subassembly is produced, provided, that production

results in a substantial transformation.

(c) This section does not apply to chapters 50-63, Harmonized

(a) General Rule of Interpretation 2(a). (1) When General Rule of

Interpretation 2(a) is stated under a rule for a good in Sec. 102.20 as

a basis for disallowing a specific change in tariff classification

under that rule this means the change will be disallowed if it is made

from one tariff provision to another by virtue of:

(i) The collection of parts being classified as if it were an

assembled good pursuant to General Rule of Interpretation 2(a); or

(ii) The assembly of parts into a subassembly that is still not a

complete or finished good, but is classified as a complete or finished

good pursuant to General Rule of Interpretation 2(a).

(2) Paragraph (a) shall not apply to assembled goods that were

previously assembled into a good, and then disassembled for convenience

of packing, handling or transport.

(b) Essential Character. (1) For purposes of determining essential

character of a good under Sec. 102.11, various factors may be examined

depending upon the type of the good. These include one or more of the

following:

(i) The nature of the material or component;

(ii) Bulk;

(iii) Quantity;

(iv) Weight;

(v) Value;

(vi) Role of a constituent material in relation to the use of the

goods; or

(vii) Other relevant factors.

(2) For purposes of applying Sec. 102.11, only domestic and foreign

materials (including self-produced materials) that are classified in a

tariff provision from which a change in tariff classification is not

allowed in the rule for the good set out in Sec. 102.20 shall be taken

into consideration in determining the parts or materials that determine

the essential character of the good.

Sec. 102.19 NAFTA preference override.

Notwithstanding any provision of these rules other than

Sec. 102.11(a) or (b) or Sec. 102.14, if a good originates under

Chapter Four of the NAFTA, and the country of origin of that good is

not determined to be a single NAFTA country under Sec. 102.11(a) or

(b), the country of origin of the good is the last NAFTA country in

which the good underwent production other than minor processing,

provided that a Certificate of Origin has been completed and signed for

the good.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Notes: 1. Chemical reaction origin rule--

Any good of chapters 28, 29, 31, 32 or 38 that is the product of a

chemical reaction shall be considered to be a good of the country in

which the reaction occurred.

A chemical reaction is defined as a process in which chemical bonds in

molecules are broken and new chemical bonds are formed between the

fragmented molecules and/or added elements so that one or more of the

original bond/s no longer link the same chemical element/s or functional

group/s.

Notwithstanding any of the line-by-line rules, the ``chemical

reaction'' rule may be applied to any good classified in the above

chapters.

2. Separation Prohibition--

A foreign material/component will not be deemed to have satisfied all

applicable requirements of these marking rules by reason of a change

from one classification to another merely as the result of the

separation of one or more individual materials or components from a man-

made mixture unless the isolated material/component, itself, also

underwent a chemical reaction.

(k) SECTION XI: Chapters 50 through 63

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Notes: (1) For the purposes of Chapters 50 through 63, the following

definitions will apply:

a. The term ``greige'', as used in chapters 50 through 55, 58, and 60,

means that the fabric has not been subjected to any wet or dry

finishing operations after it was formed.

b. The phrase ``major parts'', as used in chapters 61 and 62, means

integral components of the garment, but does not include such parts as

collars, cuffs, waistbands, plackets, pockets, linings, paddings,

accessories, or the like.

c. The phrase ``knit to shape'', as used in chapters 61 and 62, refers

to any made up major part (as defined above) of a garment which, prior

to the fabric being cut, has the same shape, or closely resembles the

shape, of that component as used in the garment.

d. The phrase ``fully lined, fully padded, or fully insulated'', as used

in chapters 61 and 62, means that the body of the garment, together

with its sleeves and/or legs, is entirely lined, padded, or insulated,

but this does not include waistbands less than fifteen centimeters

wide, cuffs less than ten centimeters wide, plackets, collars, shoulder

straps, and the like).

e. The term ``tailored'', as used in chapters 61 and 62, refers to

noncasual garments of the type normally worn for business or social

purposes where some degree of formality is required, and garments of

virtually identical construction. These garments have been permanently

shaped and usually have trim, fitted lines obtained by careful cutting,

seaming, and pressing.

(2) Where a tariff shift rule in chapters 61 or 62 involves the assembly

of a garment, the rule is satisfied only when the entire assembly of

all major parts occurs in one country.

(3) For the purposes of Section 102.11(b) of the General Rules, except

for sets, where a good classifiable in Chapter 61 through 63 does not

meet the tariff shift requirements of the heading or subheading under

which it is classifiable, the country of origin of that good shall be

the single country where the component which determines the

classification of that good was cut or formed (e.g. knit to shape),

provided all major parts were cut or formed in a single country.
