Ethernet switches, routers and network cards made in China but programmed in the U.S. are of U.S. origin for government procurement purposes, CBP said in a final determination notice. "We find that the country of origin of the final product is the United States, where the non-functional devices are substantially transformed as a result of downloading performed in the United States, with software developed in the United States," CBP said.
Self-adhesive cutaneous electrodes assembled in China are of U.S. origin for government procurement purposes, CBP said in a final determination notice. The ruling was in response to a request from the importer, Rhythmlink, for a final determination of the electrodes. The electrodes consist of a “sticky pad,” made of electrically conductive U.S.-origin hydrogel "laminated onto conductive plastic and fabric backing, which is attached" to a lead wire with a minuscule amount of glue, CBP said. While there is some "low-skill" assembly of the products in China, that processing is not substantially transformative, the agency said. "We find that the U.S.-origin hydrogel imparts the essential character of the self-adhesive cutaneous electrode," CBP said.
