subassemblies, and then these
subassemblies were assembled into
aircraft engines, ultimately involving
thousands of individual parts and a
complex operation requiring specialized
skill and expertise. It was held that
these parts were substantially
transformed as a result of the operations
performed in the United States, leading
to the production of an aircraft engine.
In HRL H022169, dated May 2, 2008,
a glider (consisting of a frame, finished
cab, axels, and wheels) was imported
into the United States and assembled
with approximately 87 different
component parts (including the
essential parts: A motor, controller, and
charger of Canadian origin; a gear box
and axel of U.S. origin; and brakes of
Indian origin) into an electric minitruck. The process consisted of eight
assembly work stations involving
attachment and installation operations,
as well as quality control and testing of
the product. It was held that the
imported glider and other foreign
components were substantially
transformed into an electric mini-truck
by the assembly operations that took
place in the United States. See also HRL
558919, dated March 20, 1995 (holding
that an extruder subassembly
manufactured in England was
substantially transformed in the United
States when it was wired and combined
with U.S. components (motor, electrical
controls and extruder screw) to create a
vertical extruder, particularly noting
that the imported extruder and U.S.
components were functionally
necessary to the operation of the vertical
extruder); HRL H075667, dated January
21, 2010 (holding that 53 components
were substantially transformed into an
alternator by the assembly operations in
the United States, noting the 169
minute, 31 step process involving
skilled workers and the U.S.-origin of
the regulator component); and, HRL
734292, dated May 26, 1992 (holding
that imported components and
subassemblies were substantially
transformed into electronic motors in
the United States, noting the U.S. origin
of the stator component because of the
extensive experience required for
production of the stator).
In this case, we find that the imported
parts are substantially transformed as a
result of the assembly operations in the
United States. We note that building the
R47DRE90M4 in the United States
consists of assembling together 131
unique parts, and at least a total of 200
parts. Similarly to HRL 559703 and HRL
H022169, production of the
R47DRE90M4 requires importing
numerous parts of various origins,
which are used to first assemble the gear

box and motor subassemblies, and then
to assemble the complete gearmotor,
through a complex operation with
specialized skill and expertise. As noted
in HRL H075667 and HRL 734292, the
complex operation in this case involves
at least 27 steps that take approximately
two hours. We note that SEW USA’s
workers are hired with previous
experience in mechanical fields, and
undergo additional training by SEW
USA, which may endure several weeks
to a few months, in order to reach the
proficiency in the assembly operations
that is required by the company. Under
the described assembly process, the
foreign components lose their
individual identities and become an
integral part of a new article, the
R47DRE90M4, possessing a new name,
character and use. Based upon the
information before us, we find that the
components that are used to
manufacture the R47DRE90M4 are
substantially transformed as a result of
the assembly operations performed in
the United States, and that the country
of origin of the R47DRE90M4 for
government procurement purposes is
the United States.
HOLDING:
The components that are used to
manufacture the R47DRE90M4 are
substantially transformed as a result of
the assembly operations performed in
the United States. Therefore, the
country of origin of the R47DRE90M4
for government procurement purposes is
the United States.
Notice of this final determination will
be given in the Federal Register, as
required by 19 CFR 177.29. Any partyat-interest other than the party which
requested this final determination may
request, pursuant to 19 CFR 177.31, that
CBP reexamine the matter anew and
issue a new final determination.
Pursuant to 19 CFR 177.30, any partyat-interest may, within 30 days of
publication of the Federal Register
Notice referenced above, seek judicial
review of this final determination before
the Court of International Trade.
Sincerely,
Alice A. Kipel,
Executive Director, Regulations and Rulings,
Office of Trade.
