origin of the oscilloscopes was
Singapore.
Based on the information provided in
your letter and consistent with the CBP
rulings cited above, we find the country
of origin of the videoscopes to be Japan.
We note that while many important
components of the videoscopes are of
Thai origin, and many processing
operations occur in Thailand
(specifically, with respect to the initial
assembly of the CCU and the scope
handset), the Japanese operations
require more skill and precision, and
impart the final product with its
essential character. Many of the critical
operations involved in completing the
product, such as developing and
installing the software; manufacturing
the insertion tube, the optics assembly
and the tip adapter; and assembling the
components, are performed in Japan.
The assembly of the scope in Japan
includes assembling the optics, the
stainless steel cord, the stainless steel
braid, waterproof layer and the tungsten
braid into the scope tube, which enable
the scope to see and navigate small
spaces. The scope imparts the
videoscope with its identifying
functionality, meaning it is a scope unit
with the light source that enables the
videoscope to nondestructively see,
move, and video small areas of a
product such as turbines or pipes. The
videoscope’s identifying function is
further enhanced by the inclusion of the
Japanese originating tip adapter.
Additionally, while the CCU is
assembled in Thailand, it is the software
completely developed and largely
installed in Japan that allows the user to
control the scope and view the image
the scope captures on the CCU. Finally,
the assembly of components in Japan
allows the CCU and the scope to
communicate.
We note that the software installed in
Japan is also completely developed and
programmed in Japan and the portion of
the costs incurred in Japan to develop
and produce the CCU and scope units
for the videoscopes represents over 80%
of the total cost of the combined unit.
Consequently, we find that the imported
videoscopes are substantially
transformed because of the assembly
operations performed in Japan to
produce the fully functional and
operational videoscopes. Based on the
information presented, it is our opinion
that the country of origin of videoscopes
is Japan.
HOLDING:
Based on the facts provided, the
finished videoscopes will be considered
a product of Japan for purposes of U.S.
Government procurement.
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 of
publication of the Federal Register
Notice referenced above, seek judicial
review of this final determination before
the Court of International Trade.
Sincerely,
Alice A. Kipel,
Executive Director, Regulations and Rulings,
Office of Trade.

The
purpose of the THSGP to make grants
available to Federally-recognized
‘‘directly eligible tribes’’ to provide
Tribes with the ability to develop and
deliver core capabilities using the
combined efforts of the whole
community, rather than the exclusive
effort of any single organization or level
of government. The THSGP’s allowable
costs support efforts of Tribes to build
and sustain core capabilities across the
prevention, protection, mitigation,
response, and recovery mission areas.
The THSGP also plays an important role
in the implementation of the National
Preparedness System by supporting the
building, sustainment, and delivery of
core capabilities essential to achieving
DHS FEMA’s National Preparedness
Goal of a secure and resilient Nation.
Federally-recognized Tribes are those
defined by section 4(e) of the Indian
Self-Determination Act (25 U.S.C.
450b(e)). ‘‘Directly eligible tribes’’ are
defined in Section 2001 of the
Homeland Security Act of 2002, as
amended (Pub. L. 107–296) (6 U.S.C.
