Technical Corrections: Rules of Origin of Imported Goods (Other 
than Textile and Apparel Products) for Purposes of the NAFTA

AGENCY: Customs and Border Protection, Department of Homeland Security.

ACTION: Final rule; corrections.

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

SUMMARY: This document makes technical corrections to the Customs 
Regulations to reflect the terms of the current version of the 
Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States within the specific 
tariff shift rules and related requirements for determining the country 
of origin of imported goods (other than textiles and apparel products) 
for purposes of the NAFTA.

DATES: These corrections are effective July 24, 2003.

Agreements Staff, Office of Regulations and Rulings, Customs and Border 
Protection, 1300 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW., Washington, DC 20229, Tel.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    Section 102.20 of the Customs Regulations (19 CFR 102.20) lists 
specific tariff shift rules and other requirements for determining the 
country of origin of imported goods (other than textiles and apparel 
products covered by Sec.  102.21) for certain North American Free Trade 
Agreement (NAFTA) purposes. Specifically, Sec.  102.20 prescribes 
tariff rules that may be used to determine when a good is a good of a 
NAFTA country (United States, Canada or Mexico). See the NAFTA 
Implementation Act, Public Law 103-182, 107 Stat. 437 (December 8, 
1993).

[[Page 43631]]

    Section 102.20 presents the origin rules in terms of tariff 
classification changes (tariff shifts) and/or specific operations which 
are required in order for origin to be conferred. The rule applicable 
to a particular good is determined by that good's tariff classification 
under the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS) at 
the time the country of origin determination is made.

Need for Correction

    Pursuant to section 1205 of the Omnibus Trade and Competitiveness 
Act of 1988, the International Trade Commission is required to keep the 
HTSUS under continuous review and prepare investigations proposing 
modifications thereto to the President. See U.S. International Trade 
Commission Investigation No. 1205-5 (final), Proposed Modifications to 
the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States, Publication 3430 
(June 2001).
    In 2002, the HTSUS was amended which resulted in the transfer of 
certain goods, for tariff classification purposes, to different or 
newly created tariff provisions, as well as the removal of tariff 
provisions currently referenced in Sec.  102.20. See Presidential 
Proclamation 7515, dated December 18, 2001 (66 FR 66549, dated December 
26, 2001). The changes to the HTSUS involve product coverage and/or 
numbering of select headings and subheadings, and are not intended to 
have any other substantive effect. See T.D. 96-48, Rules for 
Determining the Country of Origin of a Good for Purposes of Annex 311 
of the North American Free Trade Agreement, 61 FR 28934 (June 6, 1996) 
and 60 FR 22312 (May 5, 1995). This document makes technical 
corrections to Sec.  102.20 to reflect the terms of the current version 
of the HTSUS. The following examples are offered to illustrate the need 
for technical corrections to Sec.  102.20.

    Example: Pursuant to the existing terms of Sec.  102.20(b), the 
tariff shift rule for HTSUS headings 1301-1302 permits a change to 
these headings ``from any other chapter.'' Prior to the 2002 
amendments to the HTSUS, poppy straw concentrates were classifiable 
in Chapter 13 and therefore did not undergo the requisite tariff 
shift necessary to confer origin. As a result of the 2002 amendments 
to the HTSUS, certain concentrates of poppy straw were moved from 
Chapter 13 and provided for under subheading 2939.11.00, HTSUS. 
Poppy straw concentrates classifiable in this provision (Chapter 29) 
would now satisfy the tariff shift rule for Chapter 13 pursuant to 
the existing terms of Sec.  102.20(b). In order to reflect the 
original scope of the tariff shift rule for Chapter 13 within Sec.  
102.20(b), the tariff shift rule needs to be amended to specifically 
exclude changes from HTSUS subheading 2939.11 from conferring 
origin.
    Example: In 2002, a new subheading was created at 1904.30.00, 
HTSUS, which provides for ``bulgur wheat.'' This product was 
previously classified in the basket ``other'' provision under 
subheading 1904.90.00, HTSUS. As the new subheading 1904.30.00, 
HTSUS, is not included in the tariff shift rules set forth in Sec.  
102.20(d), the goods classifiable under this provision are currently 
precluded from having their origin determined pursuant to Sec.  
102.20(d). The technical corrections in this document amend the 
tariff shift rules in Sec.  102.20(d) to add this new tariff 
provision and the rule ``from any other heading,'' which was the 
rule for bulgur wheat when it was classified under subheading 
1904.90 in the 2001 version of the HTSUS.

Executive Order 12866, Regulatory Flexibility Act, Inapplicability of 
Prior Public Notice and Comment Procedures and Delayed Effective Date 
Requirements

    This document does not meet the criteria for a ``significant 
regulatory action'' as specified in Executive Order 12866. Because 
these amendments merely update the Customs Regulations by reflecting 
the terms of the 2002 HTSUS within the specific tariff shift rules and 
related requirements for determining the country of origin of imported 
goods (other than textiles and apparel products) for purposes of the 
NAFTA, Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has determined, pursuant to 
the provisions of 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(B), that prior public notice and 
comment procedures on this regulation are unnecessary and contrary to 
the public interest. For the same reasons, pursuant to the provisions 
of 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3), there is good cause for dispensing with a 
delayed effective date. Because the document is not subject to the 
requirements of 5 U.S.C. 553, as noted, it is not subject to the 
provisions of the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.).
