US Is Country of Origin for Gyrocompasses for Procurement Purposes, CBP Says

The country of origin for imported gyrocompasses is the U.S. for government procurement purposes, CBP said in a final determination. "We find that the French-origin [Inertial Sensor Assembly] will undergo a change in name, character, and use when they are assembled into finished gyrocompasses" in the U.S., CBP said. Based on those changes and "the totality of the U.S. assembly operations, amount and importance of U.S. materials, and testing that will occur in the United States, the country of origin of the gyrocompasses will be the United States for purposes of U.S. Government procurement," CBP said.
