ACTION: Interim regulations; solicitation of comments.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
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.

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

Sec. 102.13 De Minimis.
(a) Except as otherwise provided in paragraphs (b) and (c), foreign
materials that do not undergo the applicable change in tariff

because:
(1) The good was imported into the country in an unassembled or
disassembled form but was classified as an assembled good pursuant to

(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

(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

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.
