Customs and Border Protection Bureau June 30, 2005 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

This document adopts as a final rule, with some changes, proposed amendments to the Customs and Border Protection (``CBP'') Regulations concerning the North American Free Trade Agreement (``the NAFTA''). The regulatory changes interpret the term ``production'' to include disassembly and clarify that components recovered from the disassembly of used goods in a NAFTA country are entitled to NAFTA originating status when imported into the United States provided that the recovered components satisfy the applicable NAFTA rule of origin requirements.
