ACTION: Notice of final determination.
AGENCY:
This document provides
notice that U.S. Customs and Border
Protection (‘‘CBP’’) has issued a final
determination concerning the country of
origin of pocket projectors. CBP was
asked to consider two manufacturing
scenarios, under which certain
operations would be performed in
Taiwan or in China. Based upon the
facts presented, CBP has concluded that
the manufacturing and testing
operations performed in Taiwan do not
substantially transform the non-TAA
country components. The light engine
module and the PCBA main board are
the essence of the projectors and it is at
their production where the last
substantial transformation occurs.
Therefore, when the light engine
module and PCBA main board module
are assembled and programmed in
China, the country of origin of the
projectors is China for purposes of U.S.
government procurement. However, if
the light engine module and PCBA main
board module are assembled and

RE: Request for Final Determination on the
Country of Origin of Pocket Projectors
Dear Mr. Hall and Mr. Sjoberg:
This is in response to your letter dated July
6, 2010, requesting a final determination on
behalf of a U.S. importer, pursuant to subpart
B of part 177 of the U.S. Customs and Border
Protection (CBP) Regulations (19 C.F.R. Part
177). Under these regulations, which
implement Title III of the Trade Agreements
Act of 1979 (TAA), as amended (19 U.S.C.
§ 2511 et seq.), CBP issues country of origin
advisory rulings and final determinations as
to whether an article is or would be a product
of a designated country or instrumentality for
the purposes of granting waivers of certain
‘‘Buy American’’ restrictions in U.S. law or
practice for products offered for sale to the
U.S. Government.
This final determination concerns the
country of origin of a pocket projector. We
note that the U.S. importer is a party-atinterest within the meaning of 19 C.F.R.
§ 177.22(d)(1) and is entitled to request this
final determination. In reaching our decision
we have taken in account additional
information submitted to this office on
September 27, 2010.
FACTS:
According to the information submitted,
the pocket projector is a 1.97″ × 0.59″ × 4.06″,
four ounce, digital light processing (DLP)
projector that uses light emitting diodes
(LEDs) as its light source to project photos
and videos from mobile devices onto any
surface. It can produce an image size of up
to 60 inches.
The projector is partly comprised of the
following components.
Components of Taiwanese origin are:
(1) A digital micromirror device (DMD) (an
optical semiconductor; an extremely precise
light switch that enables light to be
modulated digitally via millions of
microscopic mirrors arranged in a rectangular
array. Each mirror is spaced less than 1
micron apart);
(2) A Digital Photonic Processor (DPP)
1505 chip that drives the DMD and stores
image data;
(3) An Electrically Erasable Programmable
Read-Only Memory (EEPROM) chip (PROM
1505 chip);
(4) Light emitting Diodes (LEDs);
(5) Lenses that control light for each
designated location;
(6) A printed circuit board assembly
integrated circuit (PCBA–IC);

Notice is
hereby given that on May 18, 2011,
pursuant to subpart B of part 177, U.S.
Customs and Border Protection
Regulations (19 CFR part 177, subpart
B), CBP issued a final determination
concerning the country of origin of
pocket projectors which may be offered
to the U.S. Government under an
undesignated government procurement
contract. This final determination, HQ
H114395, was issued under procedures
set forth at 19 CFR part 177, subpart B,
which implements Title III of the Trade
Agreements Act of 1979, as amended
(19 U.S.C. 2511–18). In the final
determination, CBP concluded that,
based upon the facts presented, the
manufacturing and testing operations
performed in Taiwan do not
substantially transform the non-TAA
country components of the projectors.
The light engine module and the PCBA
main board are the essence of the
projector and it is at their production
where the last substantial
transformation occurs. Therefore, when
the light engine module and PCBA main
board module are assembled and
programmed in China, the country of
origin of the projectors is China for
purposes of U.S. government
procurement. However, if the light
engine module and PCBA main board
module are assembled and programmed
in Taiwan, then the country of origin of
the projectors is Taiwan for purposes of
U.S. government procurement.
Section 177.29, CBP Regulations (19
CFR 177.29), provides that a notice of
final determination shall be published
in the Federal Register within 60 days
of the date the final determination is
issued. Section 177.30, CBP Regulations
(19 CFR 177.30), provides that any
party-at-interest, as defined in 19 CFR
177.22(d), may seek judicial review of a
final determination within 30 days of
publication of such determination in the
Federal Register.
