origin application software during the 

front deck subassembly process instead 

of after the oscilloscopes are completed. 

The boards are then assembled with 

subassemblies of Singaporean origin 

into oscilloscopes. U.S.-origin firmware 

is downloaded onto the fully assembled 

oscilloscopes in Singapore. The 

oscilloscopes undergo a basic testing 

before being shipped to Malaysia for 

further testing. 

As discussed under Scenario 1, the 

boards imported from Malaysia are 

products of Malaysia. Upon importation 

into Singapore, they are assembled with 

rear, front deck, and bezel 

subassemblies, which are made in 

Singapore, to form complete 

oscilloscopes, which are then 

programmed with U.S.-origin 

application software and firmware in 

Singapore. Accordingly, there are three 

countries under consideration where 

programming and/or assembly 

operations take place, the last of which 

is Singapore. In this scenario, no one 

country’s operations dominate the 

manufacturing operations of the 

oscilloscopes. The boards assembled in 

Malaysia are important to the function 

of the oscilloscopes, as is the U.S. 

firmware and software used to program 

the oscilloscopes in Singapore. Further, 

the assembly in Singapore completes 

the oscilloscopes. Therefore, as in 

Scenario 1, we find that the last 

substantial transformation occurs in 

Singapore. See Belcrest Linens, supra; 

HQ H170315 (July 28, 2011), Scenarios 

IV and V. Consequently, we find that 

the country of origin of the 

oscilloscopes in this scenario is 

Singapore. 

Scenario 3 

As in previous scenarios, the ACQ 

board and the AC line filter PCA are 

manufactured in Malaysia. However, in 

this scenario, the ACQ board is 

temporarily programmed with 

application software and tested in 

Malaysia. Before shipment to Singapore, 

the software is deleted from the ACQ 

board so that the board is not 

programmed when imported into 

Singapore. U.S.-origin firmware and 

application software is downloaded 

onto the fully assembled oscilloscopes 

in Singapore. 

We find this scenario to be essentially 

the same as Scenario 1 because in both 

scenarios the ACQ board is not 

programmed when imported into 

Singapore, and the facts are otherwise 

the same as those in Scenario 1. 

Accordingly, for the reasons explained 

for Scenario 1, we find that the country 

of origin of the oscilloscopes in this 

scenario is Singapore. 

Scenario 4 

As in Scenario 3, the ACQ board is 

assembled, programmed and tested in 

Malaysia and its software is deleted 

before it is shipped to Singapore. 

However, in this scenario, the AC line 

filter PCA is made in Singapore, not 

Malaysia. U.S.-origin firmware and 

application software is downloaded 

onto the fully assembled oscilloscopes 

in Singapore. 

As in previous scenarios, there are 

three countries under consideration 

where programming and/or assembly 

operations take place, the last of which 

is Singapore. In this scenario, no one 

country’s operations dominate the 

manufacturing operations of the 

oscilloscopes. The boards assembled in 

Malaysia and Singapore are important to 

the function of the oscilloscopes, as is 

the U.S. firmware and software used to 

program the oscilloscopes in Singapore. 

Further, the assembly operations in 

Singapore complete the oscilloscopes. 

Therefore, we find that the last 

substantial transformation occurs in 

Singapore. See Belcrest Linens, supra; 

HQ H170315 (July 28, 2011). 

Consequently, we find that the country 

of origin of the oscilloscopes in this 

scenario is Singapore. 

Scenario 5 

The ACQ board is assembled in 

Malaysia and shipped to Singapore. The 

AC line filter PCA is manufactured in 

Singapore. U.S.-origin application 

software and firmware is downloaded 

onto the fully assembled oscilloscopes 

in Singapore. 

We find this scenario to be essentially 

the same as Scenario 4 because in both 

scenarios the ACQ board is not 

programmed when imported into 

Singapore, and the facts are otherwise 

the same as those in Scenario 4. 

Accordingly, for the reasons explained 

for Scenario 4, we find that the country 

of origin of the oscilloscopes in this 

scenario is Singapore. 

HOLDING: 

Based on the facts in this case, we 

find that for all scenarios the country 

where the last substantial 

transformation takes place is Singapore. 

The country of origin of the Agilent 

MSOX/DSOX200A and MSOX/ 

DSOX3000A series oscilloscopes is 

Singapore for purposes of U.S. 

Government procurement. 

Notice of this final determination will 

be given in the Federal Register, as 

required by 19 C.F.R. § 177.29. Any 

party-at-interest other than the party 

which requested this final 

determination may request, pursuant to 

19 C.F.R. § 177.31, that CBP reexamine 

the matter anew and issue a new final 

determination. Pursuant to 19 C.F.R. 

§ 177.30, any party-at-interest may, 

within 30 days of publication of the

above, seek judicial review of this final 

determination before the Court of
