RE: U.S. Government Procurement; Title III,
Trade Agreements Act of 1979 (19 U.S.C.
§ 2511); Subpart B, Part 177, CBP
Regulations; Avaya Unified
Communications Solution
(‘‘Communication Manager’’)
Dear Mr. Seidel: This is in response to your
letter dated December 29, 2009, requesting a
final determination on behalf of Avaya Inc.
(‘‘Avaya’’), pursuant to subpart B of part 177,
Customs and Border Protection (‘‘CBP’’)
Regulations (19 CFR § 177.21 et seq.).
Pursuant to our request, you provided
additional information during a meeting on
March 5, 2010.
Under the pertinent regulations, which
implement Title III of the Trade Agreements
Act of 1979, 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.
This final determination concerns the
country of origin of an Avaya Unified
Communications Solution known as
‘‘Communication Manager.’’ We note that
Avaya is a party-at-interest within the
meaning of 19 CFR § 177.22(d)(1) and is
entitled to request this final determination. In
addition, we have reviewed and granted the
importer’s request for confidentiality

pursuant to section 177.2(b)(7) of the
Customs Regulations chapter 19, with respect
to certain information submitted.
FACTS:
The end product at issue is a Unified
Communications Solution which is made up
of numerous electronic components that are
assembled and integrated at an end user’s
premises in the United States using software
known as ‘‘Communication Manager.’’
Communication Manager is the IP telephony
software foundation on which Avaya delivers
unified communications to large and small
enterprises. It can control and expand a
system from fewer than 100 users to as many
as 36,000 users on a single system to more
than one million users on a single network.
You state that the programming, assembly
and installation of a system will typically
take approximately one month to complete.
It is stated that Communication Manager
adds functionality to certain individual
components and changes functionality of
other components. Although each
installation at an end user’s premises is
different, due to the end user’s needs, each
system will consist of at least the following
components: server, media gateways, circuit
packs, and internet protocol (‘‘IP’’) telephone
sets. Avaya’s Communication Manager
software is developed and tested exclusively
by Avaya in Denver, Colorado.
Communication Manager is designed to run
on a variety of Linux-based media servers.
Linux is an open source operating system.
Communication Manager provides
centralized call control for a resilient,
distributed network of media gateways and a
wide range of analog, digital, and IP-based
communication devices. It also has several
advanced built-in applications, including
mobility applications, call center features,
advanced conference calling, and enhanced
emergency 9–1–1 capabilities.
Communication Manager is the foundation
for building complete enterprise
communication networks by supporting SIP,
H.323, and other industry-standard
communications protocols over a variety of
different networks. This protocol support
provides centralized voice mail, attendant
operations, and call centers across multiple
locations.
A. Hardware
1. Media Servers: Each Communication
Solution consists of one or more media
servers. Some servers are in the form of
blades. These are cards (similar to printed
circuit cards with components) that are fit or
assembled into Media Gateways, while others
are standalone units.
2. Media Gateways: You describe three
models of Media Gateways.
i. G250 Media Gateway: a powerful branch
communication solution that packs an IP
telephony gateway, an advanced IP WAN
router, a VPN gateway and a highperformance LAN switch into a compact, 2U
high 19″ rack unit.
ii. G350 Media Gateway: a powerful
converged networking solution that packs an
IP telephony gateway, an advanced IP WAN
router, a VPN Gateway, and a highperformance LAN switch into a compact (3U)
modular chassis.
