This document provides
notice that U.S. Customs and Border
Protection (‘‘CBP’’) has issued a final
determination concerning the country of
origin of a vehicle digital video camera
known as the FleetCamTM. Based upon
the facts presented, CBP has concluded
that the processing in the United States
does not substantially transform the
imported digital video cameras for
purposes of U.S. Government
procurement.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Notice is
hereby given that on May 18, 2018,
pursuant to subpart B of Part 177,
Customs and Border Protection (CBP)
Regulations (19 CFR part 177, subpart
B), CBP issued a final determination
concerning the country of origin of the
FleetCamTM digital video camera, which
may be offered to the United States
Government under an undesignated
government procurement contract. This
final determination, HQ H294933, was
issued under the 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 the
country of origin of the finished
FleetCamTM was China, where the
digital video camera and the camera’s
firmware were manufactured.
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

RE: Final Determination of U.S. Government
Procurement; Country of Origin of a
FleetCamTM vehicle camera
Dear Mr. Teji:
This is in response to your eruling request
of January 27, 2018, for a final determination
on behalf of Forward Thinking Systems LLC,
(the Company), concerning the country of
origin of a FleetCam vehicle camera pursuant
to subpart B of Part 177, U.S. Customs and
Border Protection (‘‘CBP’’) Regulations (19
CFR § 177.21 et. seq.). We note that the
Company is a party-at-interest within the
meaning of 19 CFR § 177.22(d)(1) and is
entitled to request this final determination.
FACTS:
The product at issue is referred to as a
FleetCam, which is a high-resolution digital
video camera installed in a vehicle for
streaming and recording images in real time.
The FleetCam allows companies who
purchase the product to watch the drivers
that they employee in real-time, as well as
view recorded speeding and other behavior
moments. The FleetCam is also able to
capture, record, and transmit images of a
driver’s view of the road ahead. The
FleetCam is comprised of a physical digital
video camera or several cameras setup
together. The product also contains related
cabling and a receiver that is compatible for
use specifically with the Company’s software
and mobile applications. To use the
FleetCam product, a user must purchase the
hardware and a subscription to the software
from the Company.
The FleetCam’s physical digital video
camera is made in China and sourced by the
Company from a Chinese firm. The firmware
that is loaded onto the camera to allow it to
be operational with the Company’s software
was also developed by the Chinese firm;
however, you state that the firmware was
developed based upon the design,
specifications, and software architecture
produced by the Company’s staff located in
the United States. The firmware developed
for the FleetCam is designed specifically for
use with the Company’s fleet management
software. The digital camera hardware
(together with the firmware) is purchased by
the Company from a Chinese producer.
The firmware is not loaded onto the
camera hardware until it is received by the
Company in the United States. Upon receipt
of the camera and the firmware code, the
Company’s engineers load and install the
firmware on the camera hardware at the
Company’s offices in the United States. An
