A good is produced by simple assembly, and the assembled parts that merit equal consideration all come from the same country. What is the origin if earlier rules do not decide it?
- The country where the screwdriver was used, even if the parts are from somewhere else
- The country of the importer
- The country of origin of those parts
- The United States, because assembly occurred after importation
Show the answer
C. The country of origin of those parts
Under 102.11(d)(2), if the good was produced by simple assembly and the parts that merit equal consideration are from the same country, that country is the origin. If that rule also fails, origin is the last country where the good underwent production.
