Tariff Treatment Related to Disassembly Operations Under the North American Free Trade Agreement

요약

This document adopts as a final rule, with some changes, proposed amendments to the Customs and Border Protection ("CBP") Regulations concerning the North American Free Trade Agreement ("the NAFTA"). The regulatory changes interpret the term "production" to include disassembly and clarify that components recovered from the disassembly of used goods in a NAFTA country are entitled to NAFTA originating status when imported into the United States provided that the recovered components satisfy the applicable NAFTA rule of origin requirements.
