code was programmed, and testing and
validation were conducted. See HQ H243606,
dated December 4, 2013. Therefore, since the
entire development and writing of software
specifications, programming of source code,
and software build occur in China, the
country of origin of FCI’s proprietary
software is China.
CBP has considered several cases dealing
with country of origin of electronic products
that are manufactured abroad and imported
into the U.S. for software download. In HQ
H034843, dated May 5, 2009, CBP held that
USB flash drives were products of Israel
because, though the assembly process began
in China, the software and firmware were
developed in Israel, and the installation and
customization of the firmware and software
that took place in Israel made the USB flash
drives functional, permitted them to execute
their security features, and increased their
value. In HQ H175415, dated October 4,
2011, CBP held that Ethernet switches were
products of the U.S. because, though the
hardware components were fully assembled
into Ethernet switches in China, they were
programmed with U.S.-origin operating
software enabling them to interact and route
within the network, and to monitor, secure,
and access control of the network.
In HQ H241177, dated December 3, 2013,
Ethernet switches were assembled to
completion in Malaysia and then shipped to
Singapore, where U.S.-origin software was
downloaded onto the switches. CBP found
that software downloading did not amount to
programming, which involved writing,
testing and implementing code necessary to
make the computer function a certain way.
See also HQ H240199, dated March 10, 2015
(notebook computer was not substantially
transformed when the computer was
assembled in Country A, imported into
Country F, and Country D-origin BIOS was
downloaded). CBP concluded in HQ
H241177, that the software downloading
performed in Singapore did not amount to
programming and that the country of origin
was Malaysia, where the last substantial
transformation occurred.
In this case, the Cable is fully assembled
in China and imported into the U.S., and in
its imported condition, it is completely nonfunctional. The Chinese proprietary software
enables the Cable to function as intended.
Without the proprietary software, the Cable
cannot function as a network device in any
capacity. However, downloading does not
amount to programming. See HQ H241177,
supra. Here, the software is developed in
China and the download occurs in the U.S.
Given these facts, we find that the country
where the last substantial transformation
occurs is China, that is, where the major
assembly processes are performed and the
software was developed. The country of
origin of the Cable for purposes of U.S.
Government procurement is China.
The manufacturing process for the
Transceivers is similar to the Cable. The
Transceiver is fully assembled in China and
imported into the U.S., and in its imported
condition, it is completely non-functional.
The German software is downloaded and
enables the Transceiver to function as
intended. As stated above, and in accordance

with HQ H241177, downloading does not
amount to programming and the Transceiver
is not substantially transformed in the U.S.
Given these facts, we find that the country
where the last substantial transformation
occurs is China, where the major assembly
processes are performed. The country of
origin of the Transceiver for purposes of U.S.
Government procurement is China.
HOLDING:
Based on the facts in this case, we find that
the last substantial transformation of the
Cable and Transceiver occurs in China. As
such, the Cable and Transceiver will be
considered products of China for purposes of
U.S. Government procurement.
Notice of this final determination will be
given in the Federal Register, as required by
19 CFR § 177.29. Any party-at-interest other
than the party which requested this final
determination may request, pursuant to 19
CFR § 177.31, that CBP reexamine the matter
anew and issue a new final determination.
Pursuant to 19 CFR § 177.30, any party-atinterest may, within 30 days of publication
of the Federal Register Notice referenced
above, seek judicial review of this final
determination before the Court of
International Trade.

ACTION:

Notice of issuance of permits.

We, the U.S. Fish and
Wildlife Service (Service), have issued
the following permits to conduct certain
activities with endangered species,
marine mammals, or both. We issue
these permits under the Endangered
Species Act (ESA) and Marine Mammal
Protection Act (MMPA).

SUMMARY:

Brenda Tapia, U.S. Fish and
Wildlife Service, Division of
Management Authority, Branch of
Permits, MS: IA, 5275 Leesburg Pike,
Falls Church, VA 22041; fax (703) 358–
2281.

ADDRESSES:

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Brenda Tapia, (703) 358–2104
(telephone); (703) 358–2281 (fax);
[email protected] (email).
On the
dates below, as authorized by the
provisions of the ESA (16 U.S.C. 1531
et seq.), as amended, and/or the MMPA,
as amended (16 U.S.C. 1361 et seq.), we
issued requested permits subject to
certain conditions set forth therein. For
each permit for an endangered species,
we found that (1) the application was
filed in good faith, (2) the granted
permit would not operate to the
disadvantage of the endangered species,
and (3) the granted permit would be
consistent with the purposes and policy
set forth in section 2 of the ESA.
