C. When the good is wholly the growth, product, or manufacture of Israel, or underwent its last substantial transformation there

Under 102.22, Israel is the origin if the textile or apparel is wholly the growth, product, or manufacture of Israel, or if the last substantial transformation occurred there. A substantial transformation can be a change in commercial designation, identity, fundamental character, or commercial use. The list is not exhaustive.
