View Rule

This final rule will amend the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) regulations regarding non-preferential origin determinations for merchandise imported from Canada or Mexico.  Specifically, CBP will apply the part 102 rules of origin of title 19 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) for all non-preferential purposes of the customs laws, to determine when a good imported from Canada or Mexico has been substantially transformed resulting in an article with a new name, character, or use.  For consistency, this final rule will modify the regulations in part 177 of title 19 of the CFR for country of origin determinations for government procurement.  Collectively, the amendments will reduce administrative burdens and inconsistency for non-preferential origin determinations for merchandise imported from Canada or Mexico for purposes of the implementation of the Agreement Between the United States of America, the United Mexican States, and Canada (USMCA).
