US Is Country of Origin for Internet Connectivity Gateways for Procurement Purposes, CBP Says

The U.S. is the country of origin for Sierra Wireless gateways for U.S. government procurement purposes, CBP said in a final determination. The gateways "provide secure internet connectivity for mobile stations allowing a variety of enterprises, mainly law enforcement, to monitor their infrastructure and instruments by transmitting and receiving data from a central location," CBP said. The agency said the gateways at issue "here derive their core functionality as communication devices from the installation of the U.S.-developed software."
