projector, such as maximum image size, color
characteristics, factory pre-set timings, and
frequency range limits. We find that the
assembly and programming operations
performed in Taiwan are sufficiently
complex and meaningful so as to create a
new article with a new character, name and
use. See, for e.g., HQ H034843 and H100055.
Moreover, we note that some of the Chinese
modules were made using Taiwanese parts.
Through the operations undertaken in
Taiwan, the individual parts lose their
identities and become integral to the new and
different article, i.e., the projector. See
Belcrest Linens. Accordingly, we find that the
country of origin of the projector is Taiwan.
HOLDING:
Based on the facts in this case, we find that
the assembly and programming operations
performed in Taiwan substantially transform
the non-TAA country components of the
projector. Therefore, the country of origin of
the Model A and Model B projectors is
Taiwan for purposes of U.S. government
procurement.
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 of publication of the Federal Register
Notice referenced above, seek judicial review
of this final determination before the Court
of International Trade.
Sincerely,
Sandra L. Bell, Executive Director,
Regulations and Rulings
Office of International Trade.
