Rules of origin

How CBP decides the country of origin of a good for marking and for the tariff purposes named in Part 102.

Governing text: 19 CFR Part 102

Rules to know

Origin is where the good was wholly obtained, produced from domestic materials, or where every foreign material underwent the required tariff change.
De minimis foreign material is generally disregarded at 7 percent of value, or 10 percent for Harmonized System Chapter 22.
Simple packing, a change in end-use, dismantling, or mere dilution does not confer origin.
Textile and apparel commercial entries must carry a manufacturer identification code built from the origin-conferring producer.
