RE: U.S. Government Procurement; Title III,
Trade Agreements Act of 1979 (19 U.S.C.
2511); Subpart B, Part 177, CBP
Regulations; Country of Origin of
Printers
Dear Mr. Murphy:
This is in response to your letter dated May
30, 2007, which we received by facsimile
transmission on June 19, 2007, requesting a
final determination on behalf of Oce´ North
America (‘‘Oce´ ’’), pursuant to subpart B of
Part 177, Customs and Border Protection
(‘‘CBP’’) Regulations (19 CFR 177.21 et seq.).
We received your revised submission on July
17, 2007. Pursuant to our request for
additional information, you submitted
correspondence of September 28, 2007,
November 2, 2007, and November 26, 2007.
Under the pertinent regulations, which
implement Title III of the Trade Agreements
Act of 1979 (‘‘TAA’’), as amended (19 U.S.C.
2511 et seq.), CBP issues country of origin
advisory rulings and final determinations as
to whether an article is or would be a product
of a designated country or instrumentality for
the purpose of granting waivers of certain
‘‘Buy American’’ restrictions in U.S. law or
practice for products offered for sale to the
U.S. Government. You state that Oce´ will be
the importer of the subject merchandise.
This final determination concerns the
country of origin of certain ‘‘Cobalt’’ printers.
We note that Oce´ is a party-at-interest within
the meaning of 19 CFR 177.22(d)(1) and is
entitled to request this final determination.
Facts:
You describe the pertinent facts as follows.
The Cobalt printer is a newly-designed wideformat printer, incorporating revolutionary
print technology which was developed by
Oce´ Technologies BV in the Netherlands. The
printer will be capable of printing wide
format color documents using Oce´ ’s
advanced imaging devices. The
subassemblies for this printer are: Imaging
devices; upper module; printer cartridges; cut

and receiving unit; frame lower unit; power
supply unit; controller, including embedded
software; and media drawer. Based upon
customer needs, customized software
options, developed in the Netherlands and
France, will be available. Some of the printer
subassemblies will be assembled in the
Netherlands, some will be assembled in
Malaysia. You state that, after the
subassemblies are completed, they will
undergo a ‘‘substantial configuration’’ in
either the Netherlands or the United States.
You claim that the imaging devices and the
printer cartridges are the most important
components of the printer system. The
imaging devices are claimed to be the
printer’s most complex component and are
the key to its function and capabilities
because this particular printer is designed to
create wide format printed sheets. The
printer functions by converting a computer
image signal into numerous signals and then
steering each of the imaging devices, which
perform the actual print process. The
printing unit is steered by the printed board
assembly of the imaging devices, which
creates a fixed print onto a sheet of paper.
The process allows the movement of the
paper under the imaging devices, which
require the use of printer ink/toner which is
replenished with ink/toner from the
cartridges when the ink/toner level lowers.
The imaging devices will be produced in Oce´
Technologies’ new manufacturing site in the
Netherlands from parts of European origin
obtained from European suppliers, including
a printed board assembly. Each imaging
device is filled with blank ink/toner and
tested in the Netherlands. You state that
‘‘Oce´ Technologies employs trained and
highly skilled operators and technicians to
manufacture the imaging devices in its high
tech manufacturing facility.’’ The imaging
devices comprise fifty three percent (53%) of
the printer’s value.
The printer cartridges contain color ink/
toner which is used to print the image. The
ink/toner cartridge will be produced in Oce´
Technologies’ manufacturing facility in the
Netherlands, using plastic parts sourced in
China. The cartridges will be filled with ink/
toner and an EPROM (chip) inserted in the
Netherlands. The chip controls
communication with the engine controller.
The following subassemblies will be
assembled in Malaysia. The upper module,
which is constructed from subunits
consisting of various plates, guides, shafts,
motors, printed circuit boards, and bundles,
moves and guides the imaging devices along
in a carriage. The upper module will be
assembled in Malaysia from approximately
600 parts in a process primarily involving
screwing operations using workers who are
‘‘low trained and low skilled.’’ European
parts constitute forty percent (40%) of the
value of the upper module. The upper
module comprises approximately twenty
seven percent (27%) of the printer’s value.
The controller, developed by Oce´
Technologies, converts the raw computer
signal into specific signals to each imaging
device. The keys to the controller are the
mainboard, which will be sourced from a
European supplier and of European origin,
and its software, developed by Oce´
