US Rules of Origin

The American definition for the rules of origin states that the product must be wholly obtained (grown, produced or manufactured) in WBGS.

 

If not wholly obtained in the country of origin, the product should meet one of the following rules:

The direct cost of production in WBGS or in the WBGS and Israel must not be less than 35%

of the value of the product.

If products from the US are used in processing, the costs for these products can contribute

to calculate the 35% (in a portion not superior to 15%).

For textiles, the country of origin is determined based on the product tariff shift.  Therefore,

the country of origin is considered where the product is wholly assembled.
