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."
Italy is the country of origin for Aliva aluminum honeycomb panels used in walls and tunnels of train stations for U.S. government procurement purposes, CBP said in a final determination. "The major parts are imported in essentially the same shape that they will be in when assembled into the final product," CBP said. "Although there is some cutting, drilling, and slotting, the casing and the core do not lose their identity or become an integral part of a new article when assembled" in the U.S.
