RE: U.S. Government Procurement; Final
Determination; country of origin of office
chairs; substantial transformation; 19
CFR Part 177
Dear Ms. Crosby:
This is in response to your letter dated
February 22, 2006, on behalf of Herman
Miller, Inc. (hereinafter ‘‘HM’’), in which you
seek a final determination pursuant to
subpart B of Part 177, Customs Regulations,
19 CFR 177.21 et seq. Under these
regulations, which implement Title III of the
Trade Agreements Act of 1979, as amended,
(19 U.S.C. 2411 et seq.), U.S. Customs and
Border Protection (‘‘Customs’’) issues country
of origin advisory rulings and final
determinations on whether an article is or
would be a product of a designated foreign
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 certain office chairs,
which HM is considering selling to the U.S.
Government. We note that HM is a party-at-
interest within the meaning of 19 CFR
177.22(d)(1) and is entitled to request this
final determination.
FACTS:
HM is a manufacturer of office furniture. It
imports components which the company
assembles with domestic components into
finished furniture goods.
We are told that HM assembles the subject
chair in the U.S. from over 70 U.S.-origin and
foreign components. HM provided a copy of
a costed bill of materials for a typical chair
that was recently sold to another Government
agency. The features of the chair allow the
height of the chair to be adjusted and to be
tilted to allow the body to naturally pivot at
the ankles, knees and hips. Two back support
options are available to improve posture and
lower back comfort. Three arm choices are
available: Fixed, height-adjustable and fully
adjustable, which allows the arms to pivot
sideways.
According to that bill of materials, 87.6
percent of the cost of the materials is
attributable to materials of U.S. origin. Some
of the materials used are as follows: Base, tilt
assembly, pneumatic activator assembly, seat
frame assembly, arm adjustment kit, back
assembly (all of U.S. origin); telescoping
cylinder, casters, armpad and lumbar pad (all
of which are of non-U.S. origin).
You state that all components, whether
purchased locally or imported, are received
at HM’s production facility in Holland,
Michigan. Assembly begins by attaching a
telescoping cylinder to a chair base. This
telescoping cylinder is what permits the
height of the chair to be adjusted. The casters
selected by the ultimate purchaser are then
added to the chair legs. The swing arms, seat,
arm rests, back, and lumbar support are then
added in that order.
After final assembly, each chair is quality
tested by a worker who adjusts the height of
the seat, reclines the chair, and adjusts the
armrests to determine that all are working
correctly. The chair is then boxed or blanket-
wrapped for delivery to the purchaser.
