The regulator is a key component of the alternator. Should the alternator not supply enough power, the battery will get depleted and the vehicle will stop operating. The regulator will be assembled with fifty-two other components, into the alternator in a thirty-one step process which will take approximately 169 minutes. Under the described assembly process, the foreign components lose their individual identities and become an integral part of a new article, the alternator, possessing a new name, character and use. Based upon the information before us, we find that the components that are used to manufacture the alternator, including the regulator manufactured in the U.S., are substantially transformed as a result of the assembly operations performed in the U.S., and that the country of origin of the alternator for government procurement purposes is the U.S. HOLDING: The components that are used to manufacture the alternator are substantially transformed as a result of the assembly operations performed in the U.S. Therefore, the country of origin of the alternator for government procurement purposes is the U.S. Notice of this final determination will be given in the Federal Register, as required by 19 C.F.R. § 177.29. Any party-at-interest other than the party which requested this final determination may request, pursuant to 19 C.F.R. § 177.31, that CBP reexamine the matter anew and issue a new final determination. Pursuant to 19 C.F.R. § 177.30, any party-at-interest may, within 30 days after publication of the Federal Register notice referenced above, seek judicial review of this final determination before the Court of International Trade.

Background

    Section 641 of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (19 U.S.C. 1641), 
provides that a person (an individual, corporation, association, or 
partnership) must hold a valid customs broker's license and permit in

have engaged in specified types of infractions. In the case of an 
applicant for an individual broker's license, section 641 provides that 
an examination may be conducted to determine the applicant's 
qualifications for a license.
    The regulations issued under the authority of section 641 are set 
forth in part 111 of title 19 of the Code of Federal Regulations (19 
CFR part 111). Part 111 includes detailed rules regarding the licensing 
of, and granting of permits to, persons desiring to transact customs 
business as customs brokers. These rules include the qualifications 
required of applicants and the procedures for applying for licenses and 
permits. Section 111.11 (19 CFR 111.11) sets forth the basic 
requirements for a broker's license and, in paragraph (a)(4), provides 
that an applicant for an individual broker's license must attain a 
passing grade on a written examination taken within the 3-year period 
before submission of the license application prescribed under Sec.  
111.12 (19 CFR 111.12). Section 111.13 (19 CFR 111.13) sets forth the
