  A. Primary Rule/Note for Chapters 84-90  
 1. Goods obtained by disassembly
 
A change of classification which results from the disassembly of goods shall not be considered as the change required by the rule set forth in the matrix.  The country of origin of 
the parts recovered from the goods shall be the country where the parts are recovered, unless 
the importer, exporter or any person with a jus tifiable cause to determine the origin of parts 
demonstrates another country of origin on the basis of verifiable evidence such as origin 
marks on the part itself or documents. 
2. Collection of parts
 
Where a change in classification results from the application of HS General 
Interpretative Rule 2(a) with respect to collections of parts that are presented as 
unassembled articles of another heading or s ubheading the individual parts shall retain 
their origin prior to such collection.   
3. Recertification or retesting  
A change of classification which results from the recertification or retesting of the good 
shall not be considered as the change requi red by the rule set out in the matrix. 
4. Assembly of the collection of parts  
Goods assembled from a collection of part s classified as the assembled good by 
application of General Interpretative Rule 2 shall have origin in the country of 
assembly, provided the assembly would have satisfied the primary rule for the good 
had each of the parts been presented separately and not as a collection. 
5. Parts and accessories produced from blanks  
(1) The country of origin of goods that are produced from blanks which, by 
application of the HS General Interpre tative Rule 2(a), are classified in the 
same heading or subheading as the comp lete or finished goods, shall be the 
country in which the blank was finished provided finishing included 
configuring to final shape by the removal of material (other than merely by 
honing or polishing or both), or by forming processes such as bending, hammering, pressing or stamping. 
(2) Paragraph 1 above applies to goods class ifiable in provisions for parts or parts 
and accessories, including goods specifically named under such provisions, 
and to goods classifiable in headings 84.80 and 84.83.  
 
B. Notes for Chapters 84-90 applicable to primary rules contained in Column (4)  
 Application of the value added rule
 
[1. The term " X% value added rule " shall mean manufacture where the increase in value 
acquired as a result of working and processing, and if applicable, the incorporation of parts originating 
in the country of manufacture represents at least X% of the ex-works price of the product.   G/RO/W/111/Rev.5 
 Page 231 
 
 
  1. The term " ex-works price " shall mean the price to be paid for the product obtained to the 
manufacturer in whose undertaking the last working or processing is carried out (this price shall not 
include internal taxes which are, or may be , repaid when such product is exported); 
2. The term " value acquired as a result of working and processing and incorporation of 
parts originating in the country of manufacture " shall mean the increase in value resulting from 
the assembly itself, together with any preparator y, finishing and checking operations, and from the 
incorporation of any parts originating in the count ry where the operations in question were carried 
out, including profit and the general costs borne in that country as a result of the operations;] 
 
C. Additional Primary Rules/Notes with regard to Column (3) 
  
When Primary Rule/Note A above does not appl y and the other primary rules contained in 
column (3) are not met in the last country of produc tion, the following shall be applied in sequence: 
[(a) When the good is produced from materials or components that changed classification 
but did not satisfy the primary rule applicable to the good, the country of origin of the 
good is the country that furnished all or the major portion of that material or component. 
(b) The following rules apply only to goods cl assifiable under provisions for “parts” or 
“parts and accessories” and which are not described by name in the Harmonized System, applied in sequence. 
  (1) Goods produced by assembly of 5 or more parts(whether or not originating), 
other than parts provided for in rule C( b)(3) shall have origin in the country 
of assembly. 
  (2) Goods produced as a result of pr ocessing non-originating components other 
than parts provided for in rule C(b)(3)) into a device or apparatus capable of 
performing one or more new mechanical or electrical functions shall have 
origin in the country of such processing. 
  (3) The following parts shall not be c ounted for purposes of rule C(b)(1) nor 
shall the operations described be deemed  to result in a new mechanical or 
electrical function for purposes of rule C(b)(2):  
    (i) the attachment of machinery to a base; 
    (ii) the installation of machinery or apparatus into cabinets or 
similar encasements; 
    (iii) the attachment of parts of general use as defined in Note 2 to 
Section XVI of the Harmonized System or similar parts of 
plastic (Chapter 39) ; 
    (iv) the attachment of handles, dials, knobs, hand cranks, and

For the purposes of subheadings 8471.50, 84 71.60, 8471.70 and 8471.80, the assembly of 
goods of those subheadings in the same housing with  units of other subheadings within that group 
shall be origin conferring.  
E. Residual Rules/Notes for Chapters 84-90 app licable to rules contained in Column (3) 
 For purposes of Rule 1(e) of Appendix 2  the following residual rules shall be applied in 
sequence: 
1. For goods classifiable under provisions for “p arts” or “parts and accessories” and which are 
not described by name, the country of origin shall be the country of assembly provided the 
goods are produced by the assembly of two or more parts  (other than parts of general use, as 
defined in Note 2 to Section XV or similar parts of plastic (Chapter 39)), and one or more of 
the parts (other than parts of general use, as de fined in Note 2 to Section XV or similar parts 
of plastic (Chapter 39))  satisfies the requirements for origin in the country of assembly.  For 
purposes of this rule, the following parts are to not be considered nor are the operations described to be considered as origin conferring operations: 
(a) the attachment of machinery to a base; 
(b) the installation of machinery or apparatus into cabinets or similar encasements; 
(c) the attachment of parts of general use as defined in Note 2 to Section XV of the 
Harmonized System or similar parts of plastic (Chapter 39); 
(d) the attachment of handles, dials, knobs, hand cranks, and othe r consumer-operated 
controls; 
(e) the attachment of a power cord  or change of mains vo ltage/frequency by adding

(l) the installation of software. 
2. When the good is produced from materials orig inating in a single country that did not undergo 
the change in classification or did not otherwi se satisfy the primary rule applicable to the 
good, the country of origin is the country  in which those materials originated; 
3. The country of origin shall be the country of origin of that  material (or functional element) 
that gives the good its essential character, to th e extent to which the principle of essential 
character can be applied.  Otherwise, the country  of origin shall be the country in which the 
major portion of those materials originated , as determined on the basis of weight.]
