CBP has consistently held that conducting a software build, compiling source code into object code, results in a substantial transformation. In a final determination that CBP issued, Headquarters Ruling Letter (‘‘HQ’’) H301776, dated Aug. 7, 2019, two software products were produced using a four-step process: (1) writing original source code, or modifying open source software code in the United States; (2) writing or modifying source code in Canada; (3) compiling the source code into executable object code in the United States; and (4) delivering the finished software to the purchaser. In the final determination, CBP cited to two secondary sources to highlight how ‘‘source code’’ and ‘‘object code’’ differ in several important ways. Source code is a ‘‘computer program written in a high level human readable language.’’ See, e.g., Daniel S. Lin, Matthew Sag, and Ronald S. Laurie, Source Code versus Object Code: Patent Implications for the Open Source Community, 18 Santa Clara High Tech. L.J. 235, 238 (2001). While it is easier for humans to read and write programs in ‘‘high level human readable languages,’’ computers cannot execute these programs. See Note, Copyright Protection of Computer Program Object Code, 96 Harv. L. Rev. 1723, 1724 (1983). Computers can execute only ‘‘object code,’’ which is a program consisting of clusters of ‘‘0’’ and ‘‘1’’ symbols. Id. Programmers create object code from source code by feeding it into a program known as a ‘‘compiler.’’ Id. CBP held that the name, character, and use of the source code were changed as a result of its compilation into executable object code and its completion into finished software in the United States. CBP also held in another final determination, HQ H268858, dated Feb. 12, 2016, that conducting a software build resulted in a substantial transformation. In that decision, four software products were produced using a similar multi-stage process: (1) writing the source code in Malaysia; (2) compiling the source code into usable object code in the United States; and (3) installing the finished software on U.S.-origin discs in the United States. CBP held that all four software products were substantially transformed in the United States, finding that the software build conducted in the United States created a new and different article with a new name, character, and use. See also HQ H243606, dated Dec. 4, 2013 (source code programmed in China and then compiled into object code in the United States was a substantial transformation). In this case, the writing of source code in India (and the United States) involves the creation of computer instructions in a high level human readable language, whereas the software build performed in the United States involves the compilation of those instructions into a format that computers can execute. Based on the information provided, and consistent with the rulings cited above, we find that as a result of the software build that occurs when the source code is transformed into executable code when moved through either of the two U.S.-based VerDate Sep<11>2014 16:58 May 22, 2025 Jkt 265001 platforms, Bitbucket Pipeline or the U.S.based server, the last substantial transformation occurs in the United States. Through this process, the character changes from computer code to finished software, and the use changes from instructions to an executable program. Therefore, Unifyia’s software is not a product of a foreign country or instrumentality designated pursuant to 19 U.S.C. 2511(b). As to whether Unifyia’s software qualifies as a ‘‘U.S.-made end product,’’ you may wish to consult with the relevant government procuring agency and review Acetris Health, LLC v. United States, 949 F.3d 719 (Fed. Cir. 2020). Holding Based on the facts and analysis set forth above, the subject Unifyia, Inc. platform software is last substantially transformed in the United States. Notice of this final determination will be given in the Federal Register, as required by 19 CFR 177.29. Any party-at-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 party-atinterest may, within 30 days of publication of the Federal Register Notice referenced above, seek judicial review of this final determination before the U.S. Court of International Trade.
