CBP Says India Is Country of Origin for Government Procurement of Jet Fuel

Jet fuel made in India from U.S. or Mexican petroleum crude oil is of Indian origin for government procurement purposes, CBP said in a final determination notice. The ruling was in response to Anoi's request for a final determination of the fuel. While the company said the JP5 jet fuel should be a product of the U.S. or Mexico, "we find the JP5 specification jet fuel is clearly a new and different article with a new name, character, and use from that of the petroleum crude oil from which it was refined," the agency said. The country of origin of the produced JP5" will be the country in which the substantial transformation (distillation) occurs, namely India," CBP said.
