whether such processing renders a
product with a new name, character,
and use are primary considerations in
such cases. Additionally, factors such as
the resources expended on product
design and development, extent and
nature of post-assembly inspection and
testing procedures, and the degree of
skill required during the actual
manufacturing process may be relevant
when determining whether a substantial
transformation has occurred. No one
factor is determinative.
In Carlson Furniture Industries v.
United States, 65 Cust. Ct. 474 (1970),
the U.S. Customs Court ruled that U.S.
operations on imported chair parts
constituted a substantial transformation,
resulting in the creation of a new article
of commerce. After importation, the
importer assembled, fitted, and glued
the wooden parts together, inserted steel
pins into the key joints, cut the legs to
length and leveled them, and in some
instances, upholstered the chairs and
fitted the legs with glides and casters.
The court determined that the importer
had to perform additional work on the
imported chair parts and add materials
to create a functional article of
commerce. The court found that the
operations were substantial in nature,
and more than the mere assembly of the
parts together.
In HQ W563456, dated July 31, 2006,
CBP held that certain office chairs
assembled in the U.S. were a product of
the U.S. for purposes of U.S.
government procurement. The office
chairs were assembled from seventy
U.S. and foreign components. The
imported components alone were
insufficient to create the finished chairs
and substantial additional work and
materials were added to the imported
components in the U.S. to produce the
finished chairs. In finding that the
imported parts were substantially
transformed in the U.S., CBP stated that
the components lost their individual
identities when they became part of the
chair as a result of the U.S. assembly
operations and combination with U.S.
components. In HQ 561258, dated April
15, 1999, CBP determined that the
assembly of numerous imported
workstation components with the U.S.origin work surface into finished
workstations constituted a substantial
transformation. CBP held that the
imported components lost their identity
as leg brackets, drawer units, panels etc.
when they were assembled together to
form a workstation.
This case involves twenty main
components which are proposed to be
assembled in the U.S., largely by skilled
workers. The laminate top, of U.S.
origin, will be assembled into the wood

Jkt 220001
chest in a twenty step process which
will take approximately forty-one
minutes. Under the described assembly
process, we find that the foreign
components lose their individual
identities and become an integral part of
a new article, the wood chest,
possessing a new name, character and
use. Based upon the information before
us, we find that the components that are
used to manufacture the wood chest,
when combined with a U.S. origin
laminate top, are substantially
transformed as a result of the assembly
operations performed in the U.S., and
that the country of origin of the wood
chest for government procurement
purposes is the U.S.
HOLDING:
The imported components that are
used to manufacture the wood chest are
substantially transformed as a result of
the assembly operations performed in
the U.S. Therefore, we find that the
country of origin of the wood chest for
government procurement purposes is
the U.S.
Notice of this final determination will
be given in the Federal Register, as
required by 19 CFR § 177.29. Any partyat-interest other than the party which
requested this final determination may
request, pursuant to 19 CFR § 177.31,
that CBP reexamine the matter anew
and issue a new final determination.
Pursuant to 19 CFR § 177.30, any partyat-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.
Sincerely,
Myles B. Harmon,
Acting Executive Director, Regulations and
Rulings, Office of International Trade.
