Topics / Rules of origin

Are repairs, alterations, washing, or sterilizing enough to confer origin?

  1. Yes. Any repair confers the origin of the country where the repair shop is
  2. No. They are minor processing
  3. Yes, if the repair costs more than 7 percent of the value
  4. Yes, but only for goods of Chapter 22
Show the answer

B. No. They are minor processing

Repairs and alterations, washing, laundering, and sterilizing are listed as minor processing. Minor processing alone does not determine origin under the fallback in 102.11(d).
