Technical Corrections Relating to the Rules of Origin for Goods Imported Under the NAFTA and for Textile and Apparel Products

AGENCIES: U.S. Customs and Border Protection, Department of Homeland Security.

ACTION: Final rule; technical corrections.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This document sets forth technical corrections to part 102 of the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) regulations to reflect recent changes in the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States. The affected provisions in part 102 of title 19 of the Code of Federal Regulations which are based in part on specified changes in tariff classification, comprise a codified system used for determining the country of origin of goods imported under the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), determining whether an imported good is a new or different article of commerce under the United States-Morocco Free Trade Agreement and the United States- Bahrain Free Trade Agreement, and for the country of origin of textile and apparel products (other than those of Israel).

DATES: This final rule is effective on September 25, 2012.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Tamar Anolic, Tariff Classification and Marking Branch, Regulations and Rulings, Office of International Trade, (202) 325-0036.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

Section 102.20 of Title 19 of the CBP regulations (19 CFR 102.20) prescribes the tariff shift rules that are used to determine whether a good is considered a good of a NAFTA country (United States, Canada or Mexico). These tariff shift rules also determine whether an imported good is a new or different article of commerce under the United

Page 58932

States-Morocco Free Trade Agreement and the United States-Bahrain Free Trade Agreement. Section 102.21 provides the rules of origin relating to trade in textile and apparel products, other than those that are products of Israel.

Need for Correction

Pursuant to section 1205 of the Omnibus Trade and Competitiveness Act of 1988 (codified at 19 U.S.C. 3005), the International Trade Commission (ITC) is required to keep the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS) under continuous review and prepare investigations proposing modifications to the HTSUS to the President. In February 2010, the ITC issued Investigation No. 1205-7, Proposed Modifications to the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States, Publication No. 8771. The modifications proposed in the report were effective on February 3, 2012, pursuant to Presidential Proclamation 8771 which was published in the Federal Register on January 4, 2012 (77 FR 413).

As a result of the 2012 modifications to the HTSUS, certain tariff provisions have been added or removed, and certain goods have been transferred, for tariff classification purposes, to different or newly-

created tariff provisions. The changes to the HTSUS involve product coverage and/or numbering of certain headings and subheadings and are not intended to have any other substantive effect. Accordingly, this document makes technical corrections to Sec. Sec. 102.20 and 102.21 in order for the regulations to conform the tariff shift rules to the current version of the HTSUS. In addition, this document also corrects typographical errors in certain subheadings of Chapter 90 that occurred when the regulations were updated for the 2007 HTSUS.

The examples set forth below illustrate the need for the technical corrections to Sec. Sec. 102.20 and 102.21 described above.

Example 1: Pursuant to the existing terms of Sec. 102.20(o), the tariff shift rule for subheading 8479.90, HTSUS, permits a tariff shift ``to subheading 8479.90 from any other heading, except from heading 8501 when resulting from a simple assembly.'' Prior to the 2012 amendments to the HTSUS, parts of water-jet cutting machines were classified in subheading 8479.90, HTSUS, and therefore was subject to the above tariff shift rule. This rule was satisfied when any good classified outside heading 8479, except goods classified in heading 8501, HTSUS, that resulted from a simple assembly, were processed into parts of water-jet cutting machines of subheading 8479.90, HTSUS. Under the 2012 amendments to the HTSUS, however, parts of water-jet cutting machines moved from subheading 8479.90, HTSUS, to heading 8466, HTSUS, a different heading. As a result, parts of water-jet cutting machines (now classified in heading 8466, HTSUS) would presently satisfy the tariff shift rule set forth above, when it would not have satisfied it in its prior classification. In order to maintain the original result of the tariff shift rule for 8479.90, HTSUS, the tariff shift rule in Sec. 102.20(o) must be amended to provide for ``A change to subheading 8479.90 from any other heading, except from heading 8501 when resulting from a simple assembly and except from parts of water-jet cutting machines of heading 8466.''

Example 2: Under the 2012 amendments to the HTSUS, a heading was created at 3826, HTSUS, to provide for ``biodiesel and mixtures thereof, not containing or containing less than 70% by weight of petroleum oils or oils obtained from bituminous minerals.'' Prior to the 2012 amendments, these products were classified in the basket ``other'' provision under subheading 3824.90, HTSUS. As new heading 3826, HTSUS, is not included in the rules set forth in Sec. 102.20(f), it is not possible to determine the origin of goods classifiable under this provision using the current regulations. Accordingly, Sec. 102.20(f) must be amended in order to add heading 3826, HTSUS, and a new tariff shift rule added; furthermore, the tariff shift rule for subheading 3824.90 must be updated to reflect the shift in goods to the new heading 3826, HTSUS. It should be noted that these technical corrections to Sec. 102.20(f) will produce the same result as when biodiesel and mixtures thereof, not containing or containing less than 70% by weight of petroleum oils or oils obtained from bituminous minerals were classified under subheading 3824.90, HTSUS, in the 2011 HTSUS.

Example 3: Under current Sec. 102.20(d), there is a rule for subheadings 2009.41 through 2009.80, HTSUS. Under the 2012 amendments to the HTSUS, subheading 2009.80, HTSUS, which covers ``Juice of any other single fruit or vegetable,'' was deleted, with the goods moving to subheadings 2009.81 and 2009.89. As a result, the tariff shift rule for heading 2009.41-2009.80, HTSUS, has been renumbered to reflect that subheading 2009.80, HTSUS, was deleted, and reflect the new range of tariff subheadings. Thus the new rules provides for ``A change to subheading 2009.41 through 2009.89 from any other chapter.''

Example 4: Under current Sec. 102.20(d), there is a rule for subheadings 9031.41 through 9031.49, HTSUS. When this rule was updated in 2008 following changes to the 2007 HTSUS, it included references to subheadings 9030.41 through 9030.49, HTSUS, which are incorrect because no such subheadings exists in the tariff schedule. As a result, the 2012 technical update corrects the rule for subheadings 9031.41 through 9031.49, HTSUS. Please note that this change to subheading numbers is being made solely to correct typographical errors and does not reflect any updates to the 2012 HTSUS.

Inapplicability of Notice and Delayed Effective Date

Pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(B) and (d)(3), CBP has determined that it would be impracticable and contrary to the public interest to delay publication of this rule in final form pending an opportunity for public comment and that there is good cause for this final rule to become effective immediately upon publication. The technical corrections contained in this document merely conform the tariff shift rules in the regulations to the current HTSUS and will facilitate trade by ensuring that country of origin determinations made using the regulations are consistent with the HTSUS.

Regulatory Flexibility Act

Because this document is not subject to the notice and public procedure requirements of 5 U.S.C. 553, it is not subject to the provisions of the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.).

Executive Order 12866

These amendments do not meet the criteria for a ``significant regulatory action'' as specified in Executive Order 12866.

Signing Authority

While the subject matter of this document pertains to the authority of the Secretary of the Treasury to approve regulations relating to certain revenue functions (see 19 CFR Part 0), CBP retains authority pursuant to Treasury Directive 28-01 to sign a document making nonsubstantive technical corrections to a previously issued regulation. For this reason, the CBP Commissioner is the proper official to sign this document.
