15026 Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 54 / Friday, March 20, 2015 / Notices 

Regulations (19 CFR § 134) implements the 

country of origin marking requirements and 

exceptions of 19 U.S.C. § 1304. 

Section 134.1(b), CBP Regulations (19 CFR 

§ 134.1(b)), defines ‘‘country of origin’’ as: 

the country of manufacture, production or 

growth of any article of foreign origin 

entering the United States. Further work or 

material added to an article in another 

country must effect a substantial 

transformation in order to render such other 

country the ‘‘country of origin’’ within the 

meaning of this part; . . . 

The country of origin of an article for U.S. 

tariff purposes is the country in which the 

last substantial transformation took place. A 

substantial transformation occurs when an 

article is used in a manufacturing process or 

operation that results in a new article that 

has a new name, character or use different 

from that of the original imported article. A 

substantial transformation will not result 

from a minor manufacturing or combining 

process that leaves the identity of the article 

intact. See United States v. Gibson-Thomsen 

Co., 27 C.C.P.A. 267 (1940); and National 

Hand Tool Corp. v. United States, 989 F.2d 

1201 (Fed. Cir. 1992). 

In the instant case, Ferring mixes all the 

ingredients by blending, sieving, and mixing. 

We find that this processing results in a 

substantial transformation. The combination 

of the two ingredients results in a more 

stimulative laxative effect for purposes of 

cleansing the bowels. Therefore, we find that 

the country of origin of Prepopik is China for 

country of origin marking purposes. 

HOLDING: 

Based on the facts in this case, we find that 

the imported Prepopik is substantially 

transformed in China. The country of origin 

for government procurement and marking 

purposes is China. 

Notice of this final determination will be 

given in the Federal Register, as required by 

19 CFR § 177.29. Any party-at-interest other 

than the party which requested this final 

determination may request, pursuant to 19 

CFR § 177.31, that CBP reexamine the matter 

anew and issue a new final determination. 

Pursuant to 19 CFR § 177.30, any party-atinterest may, within 30 days of publication 

of the Federal Register Notice referenced 

above, seek judicial review of this final 

determination before the Court of 

International Trade. 

Sincerely, 

Glen E. Vereb, 

Acting Executive Director, Regulations and 

Rulings, Office of International Trade.
