Search Primer

Term list: Separate terms with spaces, not commas or semicolons.

Multi-word term: Place inside quotes to ensure an exact match (e.g. "China import").

Acronyms: Use all capital letters to ensure the search is not looking for that letter sequence instead.

Required term: If a term must be included in any resulting articles, prefix it with a plus sign (e.g., +CBP).

Excluded term: If a term should be excluded from any articles being found, prefix it with a minus sign (e.g., -ruling).

Singular form: Always use the singular form when doing multi-word terms (e.g. "russian export control" instead of "russian export controls").

Shortest word form: When you have different word forms in a quoted (multi-word) term, you want to only include the shortest version if it is the last part of the expression (e.g., "entity list" instead of "entity listing" or "entity listed").

Devices From China Not Substantially Transformed by US Programming, CBP Says
December 14, 2020 |Customs

A fitness data recording device that lacks programming is considered to be a product of China, CBP said in a final determination Dec. 14 on the origin for government procurement. The device, called a Whoop Strap, is programmed in the U.S. after being imported. “The article, in its condition as imported, is incomplete and non-functional as it lacks the software and firmware necessary for it to function,” CBP said. “The incomplete Whoop Strap, at the time of importation, is a product of China. CBP is of the view that programming would not result in a substantial transformation.” China is not part of the World Trade Organization Government Procurement Agreement, which means the Whoop Strap as imported would not be considered “a product of a foreign country or instrumentality,” CBP said. “As to whether the Whoop Strap processed in the United States may be considered a 'U.S.-made end product' is under the jurisdiction of the procuring agency,” it said.
