Country of Origin of Data Storage System is US for Procurement, Says CBP

The country of origin for government procurement purposes of the VistA Storage Solution, a data storage system , is the U.S. said CBP in a final determination issued July 22 (here). Four of the six components are from the U.S., including NetApp Storage Array, which is of particular importance, said CBP. "As a result of the processing in the United States, based on the totality of the circumstances and assuming that four of the components actually originate in the United States as claimed, we find that the imported hardware and software components will be substantially transformed," the agency said. Therefore, the country of origin is the U.S., it said.
