1. "Blocking" as a necessary manufacturing process in conferring origin on products of
heading 65.03 made from products of other heading.
Differing views presented in the re levant Technical Committee discussions
OPTION A
2. Felt hats and other felt headgear of heading 65.03 are made from semi-manufactured
products, namely, felt hat forms, felt hat bodies, etc. classified in heading 65.01.  There is a markeddifference between the input products and the resulting products.  A "CTH" is therefore an adequate
expression of substantial transformation for the products of heading 65.03 made from products of
heading 65.01.
OPTION B
3. Felt hat forms and similar articles of heading 65.01 can change classification to heading 65.03
by simple addition of brims or other accessory parts without blocking.  This addition does not
constitute a substantial transformation.  The “CTH” is therefore not an adequate formulation to
express the substantial transformation of the products of heading 65.03 made from products of
heading 65.01.
4. In the manufacture of felt hats or other felt headgear from products of heading 65.01,
blocking is an important process. This produces th e final shape and fixes the size of the end products.
5. To express substantial transformation of the products of heading 65.03 from products of
heading 65.01 through blocking, the origin rule should be formulated as "CTH, provided a blocking
process has occurred".

origin on products of heading 65.04 made from products of other heading.
Differing views presented in the re levant Technical Committee discussion
OPTION AG/RO/41
Page 850
9. Hats and other headgear of heading 65.04 are made from semi-manufactured products,
namely hat shapes of heading 65.02. There is a marked difference between the input products and the
resulting hats or headgear.  The formulation of “CTH” is therefore an adequate expression of
substantial transformation for hats or headgear manufactured from hat shapes.
OPTION B
10. Hat shapes of heading 65.02 can change to products of heading 65.04 simply by addition of
brims or other accessory parts.  This does not bring about a substantial transformation.  The “CTH”
formulation is therefore not a sufficient expression for the substantial transformation of the products
of heading 65.04.
11. In the manufacture of hats or headgear from plaited or otherwise produced hat shapes of any
material, blocking is an important process.  It produces permanently the shape and size of the hats or
headgear.  Other finishing operation (e.g. fitting with head-bands, linings, chinstraps, decorative
accessories, etc.) is also necessary to enhance the use as well as the appeal of the products.
12. To express substantial transformation of the products of heading 65.04, the origin rule
formulation should be based on: "CTH, provided a blocking to shape and further finishing has
occurred".

ISSUE FOR DECISION NO. 315. Production of products of heading 65.05 by assembly of parts of other heading.
Differing views presented in the re levant Technical Committee discussion
OPTION A
16. Most component parts for hats and headgear (e.g. head-bands, linings, hat frames, peaks,
chinstraps, etc.) are classified in heading 65.07.  Some may come from other headings.  Assembly of
parts to form products of this heading is considered origin-conferring.  The origin rule formulation of
"CTH" therefore expresses adequately the substantial transformation of the products of heading 65.05
made from parts of other headings.
OPTION B
17. The assembly of parts to form hats and headgear of heading 65.05 may entail a substantial
transformation.  However, a condition has to be set that the assembling operation must be fully carried
out in a single country.  The origin rule formulation for goods of heading 65.05 should be based on:
"CTH, provided the goods are fully assembled in a single country".G/RO/41

20. Production of umbrellas of heading 66.01 by assembly of parts of other heading.
Differing views presented in the re levant Technical Committee discussion
OPTION A
21. The umbrellas and sun umbrellas referred to in heading 66.01 may be manufactured from
textile fabric, plastics, paper, etc. of other headings and/or from parts of heading 66.03.  A change to
the heading of the finished products from that of the input products is therefore an adequate
expression of the substantial transformation of the goods.  The origin rule formulation of  “CTH” is
considered appropriate for products of heading 66.01.
OPTION B
22. Heading 66.03 covers handles and knobs, umbrella frames and other parts, trimmings and
accessories of articles of heading 66.01 or 66.02.  Manufacture of umbrellas of heading 66.01 from
these parts, trimmings and accessories does not bring about a substantial transformation.  Substantialtransformation is deemed to have occurred when the umbrellas are manufactured from such materials
as textile fabric, plastics, paper, etc. classified in other headings except heading 66.03.  The origin rule
formulation for the goods of heading 66.01 should read: “CTH, except from heading 66.03”.
OPTION C
23. The production of umbrellas of heading 66.01 by assembly of parts of umbrellas, trimmings
and accessories of any other headings (including heading 66.03) is considered to be origin-conferring
subject to the condition that the assembling operation must be fully carried out in a single country.

feathers, parts of feathers, or down of heading 67.01 from the skins and other parts of birds with their
feathers or down of the same heading.
Differing views presented in the re levant Technical Committee discussion
OPTION A
32. Heading 67.01 covers the following products:
- Skins and other parts of bird s with their feathers or down
- Feathers, parts of feathers, and down
- Articles made from the above products
33. The input products for the production of skins and other parts of birds with their feathers or
down of heading 67.01 are classified in other heading.  Hence, the origin rule formulation of “CTH” is
considered appropriate for the products.G/RO/41
Page 853
34. The change to feathers, parts of feathers, and down of the heading from skins and other parts
of birds with their feathers or down of the same heading is a substantial transformation.  It involves a
significant modification of the input products.  In industry, removal of feathers or down from skins is
complicated and required specialized techniques in plucking, separation and other follow-up
treatments.  A split heading rule for the resulting products is considered necessary.
35. The manufacture of articles of feathers or down from feathers, parts of feathers, or down
entails a substantial transformation of the input products.  A split heading rule is also considered
necessary for the articles so produced.
36. To sum up, the origin rules for products of heading 67.01 should be:
ex 67.01 (a) - Skins and other parts of birds with their feathers or down CTH
ex 67.01 (b) - Feathers, parts of feathers, down CTHS
ex 67.01 (c) - Other CTHS
OPTION B
37. Heading 05.05 refers to unworked feathers, down, etc. that have been cleaned, disinfected or
treated for preservation.  A change from these products to products of  heading 67.01 does not stand
for any significant transformation.  The input materials for products of heading 67.01 should  betraced back to any other heading but not to head ing 05.05.  Accordingly, the origin rule formulation
for heading 67.01 should read: “CTH, except from heading 05.05”.
38. Also, the change to feathers, parts of feathers or down of heading 67.01 from skins and other
parts of birds with their feathers or down of the same heading cannot be treated as a substantial
transformation.
39. It is acknowledged, however, that a change to articles from feathers, down, skins with
feathers or down, etc. of headings 67.01 and 05.05 constitutes a substantial transformation.
40. The origin rules for products of heading 67.01 should read as :
"CTH, except from heading 05.05; or change to articles of this heading from skins and other
parts of birds with their feathers or  down, or from feathers or down or pa rts of feathers of this heading or

Differing views presented in the re levant Technical Committee discussion
OPTION A
44. Artificial flowers, foliage and fruit of heading 67.02 may be obtained by assembling of parts
(e.g. leaves, stems, stamens, ovaries and petals) classified in the same heading or produced by
moulding or otherwise from materials classified in other headings.  These artificial flowers, foliage,
fruit and parts thereof may be further assembled into articles (e.g. bouquets, garlands, wreaths, plants)
or other articles for use as trimmings or as ornaments.
45. Assembly of parts to goods gives the resulting products the essential likeness of the finished
flowers, foliage or fruit distinct from the input products.  Accordingly, the following formulations
should be considered :

OPTION B
46. Materials used in the manufactured of parts of artificial flowers and fruits are classified

OPTION A
50. Heading 67.03 covers human hair which has been dressed or otherwise worked (for example,
thinned, bleached, dyed, waved or curled) for use in postiche or for other purposes.  It also coverswool or other animal hair or other textile materials, prepared for use in making wigs or the like or
doll’s hair.  The input materials can be traced back to other headings, for example, heading 05.01
which covers the human hair that has not yet been dressed, thinned, bleached or dyed.  It is considered
that a change to products of this heading from the input materials is sufficient to confer origin.
Accordingly, “CTH” is an appropriate origin rule formulation for heading 67.03.

ISSUE NO. 9: OBTAINING PRODUCTS OF SUBHEADING 6406.10 (UPPERS AND PARTS
THEREOF, OTHER THAN STIFFENERS)G/RO/41
Page 856
OPTION A: Yes
56. The production of uppers and parts thereof, other than stiffeners, from materials
(leather, textiles, etc.) classified in other headings involves sufficient processing operation to render
the resultant products different from the input ma terials.  Hence, a substantial transformation is
deemed to have occurred.  The origin rule for the products is "CTH".  (EC) (CH) (EGY) (KOR)
(MOR) (NOR) (JPN) (IND)
OPTION B: Yes, provided
57. This Option does not differ from Option A, in that the obtaining of products of this
subheading from materials (leather, textiles, etc.) classified in other Chapter is deemed to be a
substantial transformation.  However the "CTH" rule as preferred in Option A might give rise to the
misinterpretation that obtaining parts from shoes by  disassembly is also a substantial transformation.
The origin rule suggested is "Change of Chapter (CC)".  (CAN) (HK) (AUS) (MEX) (PHI)
OPTION C: Yes, provided
58. The products under subheading 6406.10 could be grouped into (a) formed uppers, (b)
uppers other than formed uppers, and (c) parts of uppers.
For (a), the origin rule is CTSH.  "Formed uppers", according to the proponent, mean uppers
of heading 64.06 having closed bottoms, which have been shaped by lasting, molding or otherwise,
but not by simply closing at the bottom.  (US)
For (b), the obtaining of the products from materials classified in any other heading or within
subheading 6406.10 is origin-conferring or the products are either knitted to shape or fully assembled
in one country.  (US)
For (c), the production of parts of uppers from products classified in other headings is deemed
to be a substantial transformation.  A "CTH" origin rule is preferred.  (US)
OPTION D: Yes, provided59. Same as in Option C, the products under subheading 6406.10 could be grouped into
(a) formed uppers, (b) uppers other than formed uppers, and (c) parts of uppers.
For (a), "lasting" is considered to be the essential operation in the production of "formed
uppers".  The country where the "lasting" operation was performed is the country of origin of the
formed uppers so produced.  (KOR)
For (b), the country of origin is the country where at least two of the following operations
were performed: (i) making fabric, leather, etc. (ii) cutting, (iii) assembling parts; or if no country
meets the above criteria, the country where assembly of parts was performed.  (KOR)
For (c), a change from products of any other heading is deemed to be a substantial
transformation.  The origin rule is "CTH".  (KOR)

60. Subheading 6406.99 covers component parts of footwear not specified in subheadings
6406.10 to 6406.91.  It also covers gaiters, leggings and similar articles.
61. The production of products of this subheading from products (i.e., leather, textiles,
plastics) of other headings is deemed to have undergone sufficient processing to attain a substantial
transformation.  The origin rule proposed is CT H.  (EC) (CH) (EGY) (KOR) (MOR) (NOR) (PHI)
(IND)
OPTION B: Yes, provided
62. The production of products of this subhead ing from products of any other heading
outside the Chapter is deemed to be a substantial transformation.  The origin rule proposed is "Change
of Chapter (CC)".  (CAN) (HK) (AUS) (MEX) (JPN)
63. The "CTH" rule as preferred in Option A above is not considered appropriate because
it might lead to the misinterpretation that origin could be conferred on parts obtained, by disassembly,from finished footwear classified in other headings of Chapter 64.
OPTION C: Yes, provided
64. For "gaiters, leggings and similar articles" of subheading 6406.99,  the origin rule
proposed is "CTSH, provided the goods are either knitted to shape or fully assembled in one country".This is because substantial transformation of the goods is considered to be mainly the result of
operations of knitting parts to shape or assembly of all input parts into a complete product.  (US)
65. For "other parts of footwear" under the same subheading, a change to these products
from the input products classified in any other heading is deemed to be a substantial transformation.
Hence, the origin rule proposed is "CTH".  (US)

ISSUE No. 11 :  SHOULD A DEFINITION OF “FORMED UPPERS” BE DRAFTED FOR THE
PURPOSES OF HEADINGS 64.01 TO 64.05?
OPTION A : Yes66. For origin purposes, it is necessary to distinguish ordinary uppers from uppers with closed
bottoms and shaped by lasting, moulding or other pr ocessing.  the assembly of footwear from ordinary
uppers is considered origin-conferring; whereas the assembly of footwear from other types of uppers
is not.  “formed uppers” is a convenient term to describe those uppers which do not entail a substantial
transformation when further worked into footwear.
67. The definition of “formed uppers” should be drafted as:
Uppers of Heading No. 64.06 having closed bottoms, which have been shaped by lasting,
molding or otherwise, but not by simply cl osing at the bottom. (US) (HK) (CH) (EGY)
(MEX) (CAN) (PHI)
OPTION B : Yes68. The definition of “formed uppers” should be drafted as:G/RO/41
Page 858
Uppers with insole material attached to the upper, which would prevent the base of a foot
placed in the upper from coming contact with the ground.  Except for footwear of moccasin
style construction, where the upper material is continued under the foot to form an insole
from one continuous piece of leather. (AUS)
OPTION C : No69. “Formed uppers” is not a term found in the hs nomenclature nor in the corresponding
explanatory notes.  if the term “formed uppers” is to be used, efforts must first be made to define and
agree on the meaning of “moulding”, ‘lasting”, and “closing” in the context of footwear production.
this is conceivably a difficult task.
70. The technical committee should forgo drafting the origin rules for footwear with reference to
the term “formed uppers”.  instead, a more neutral and user-friendly terminology should be found.  inthis connection, the origin rule for footwear of headings  64.01 to 64.05 could be drafted as follows:
• CTH with the exclusion of assembly of uppers affixed to inner or to other sole components of
heading 64.06. (EC)
