circuit, and power source units were
mounted onto the outer case with
screws and screwdrivers. In holding that
the country of origin of the assembled
printers was Japan, CBP recognized that
the vast majority of the printer’s parts
were of Japanese origin and that the
operations performed in China were
relatively simple assembly operations.
Here, as in HQ 558919, the
merchandise contains many U.S.
materials that are important components
of the final product. With the exception
of the French-origin ISA, which may in
some cases contain U.S. parts, and some
German-origin connectors on one
subassembly, all the materials used in
the gyroscope are of U.S.-origin. These
U.S.-origin parts are essential to the
functionality of the finished
gyrocompass. As noted above, the
processor board serves as the
‘‘intelligence’’ of the product and
contains firmware and the user interface
that allows a ship’s crew to control the
product. The interface board serves as
the electrical link between the ship’s
electrical equipment and the product,
and the DSP board processes the raw
data generated by the ISA into a format
that is compatible with navigational
equipment. Without the U.S.-origin
components, the ISA’s functionality
would be limited to measuring raw
accelerations and rotation rates and
would not be capable of producing the
output expected from a navigational
gyrocompass including heading, roll,
pitch, and heave.
In addition, the assembly processes
that will occur in the United States are
complex and time-consuming. Each of
the electronic boards contains dozens of
electrical components that must be
properly mounted to the surface of the
board and soldered into place. This
process takes 4.2 hours, while the
customized metal housing takes about
ten hours to manufacture. Next, these
components will be combined with the
ISA in a process that includes placing
a gasket, affixing a heat-sink compound,
soldering connectors, attaching cables,
fastening screws, and loading software.
This process will take an additional
seven and a half hours. Finally,
significant post-assembly testing
procedures, which will calibrate the
merchandise and ensure smooth
communication with the ship’s
navigational equipment, will be carried
out in the United States. [The
Manufacturer] states that the calibration
testing will take up to 24 hours.
Consistent with previous CBP decisions,
the large number of individual
components, the 4.2 hours that will be
spent assembling the boards, the ten
hours that will be spent manufacturing

the metal housing, the seven and a half
hours that will be spent on final
assembly, and the time spent on final
calibration testing (up to 24 hours) are
evidence of complex and meaningful
assembly operations in the United
States.
In addition, we find that the Frenchorigin ISAs will undergo a change in
name, character, and use when they are
assembled into finished gyrocompasses
in the United States. Although a change
in a product’s name is the weakest
evidence of a substantial transformation,
Uniroyal, Inc. v. United States, 3 CIT
220, aff’d 703 F.2d 1022 (Fed. Cir.
1983), we note that the name of the
imported material will change from ISA
to gyrocompass after assembly in the
United States. Furthermore, the ISA’s
character—or its ‘‘mark, sign [or]
distinctive quality,’’ Energizer Battery
Inc. v. United States, No. 16–116, slip
op. at 18 (CIT 2016) (quoting Webster’s
Third New Int’l Dictionary of the
English Language Unabridged (2002) at
376)—will change from a component
capable of taking raw measurements to
a calibrated system able to record,
collect, and transmit data to a ship’s
navigational systems. Finally, the
integration of the French-origin ISA into
the finished product changes its use
from a measurement component to a
complete gyrocompass and ‘‘attitude
reference system that is capable of
delivering actionable data integrated
into the ship’s navigation and control
systems.’’ Because of the change in
name, character, and use that occurs in
the United States, and considering the
totality of the U.S. assembly operations,
amount and importance of U.S.
materials, and testing that will occur in
the United States, the country of origin
of the gyrocompasses will be the United
States for purposes of U.S. Government
procurement.
HOLDING:
The country of origin of the
gyrocompasses for purposes of U.S.
Government procurement will be the
United States.
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.
