subheading) results from one of the following circumstan ces, origin shall be determined as indicated:  (US)]
[Where satisfaction of the rules of this Appendix results solely from the following circumstances, origin shall be determined a s indicated [herein]
[in Appendix].  (Alternative US Text)]
A. Disassembly
Disassembly operations, including those which result in a change  of tariff classification, shall not be considered origin confe rring.    (Basket 1)
[(1) A change of classification which results from the disassembly  of the good that can perform its original purpose shall not b e considered as
the change required by the rule set forth in the matrix.  The pa rts recovered from the good shall retain the country of origin of the good
prior to disassembly.  (US)   ( Issues Nos.11 and 12 )
[(2) A change of classification which results from the disassembly of the good that cannot perform its original purpose without being restored
or repaired shall not be considered as the change required by th e rule set forth in the matrix.  The country of origin of the r ecovered parts
shall be (one among the following options (US):]   ( Issues Nos.11 and 12 )

as unassembled articles of another heading or subheading the indivi dual parts shall retain their origin prior to such collectio n.  (For goods assembled from
collections of parts, Note 2.C shall apply.)  (US) (AUS)]

commercial price reductions shall not be taken into account.
(b) The terms “value acquired as a result of working and processing” and “incorporation of parts originating in the country of m anufacture”
shall mean the increase in value resulting from the assembly its elf, together with any preparatory, finishing and checking oper ations, and
from the incorporation of any parts originating in the country where the operations were carried out, including profit and gene ral costs
