NOTES 1. Conditions. The main conditions for admission under the Free Trade Area (FTA) Agreement between the United States of America and Israel (the Agreement) are: (a) The goods must be consigned direct from the United States of America to Israel but in most cases shipment through one or more intermediate countries is accepted provided that the goods did not enter into the commerce of that country and otherwise complied with the direct shipment requirements of the Agreement. (b) The goods comply with the origin criteria specified in the Agreement. Indication of the origin requirements is given in Paragraph 2. (c) Each article in a consignment must qualify separately in its own right concerning the rules of origin and direct shipment. 2. Origin requirements for goods originating in the United States of America. (a) That article is wholly the growth, product, or manufacture of the United States of America or is a new or different article of commerce that has been grown, produced, or manufactured in the United States of America. (b) The sum of (a) the cost or value of the materials produced in the United States of America plus (b) the direct cost of processing operations performed in the United States of America is not less than 35 percent of the appraised value of the article at the time it is entered into Israel. No article shall be considered a new or different article of commerce under the Agreement and no material shall be eligible for inclusion as domestic content under the Agreement by virtue of having merely undergone (a) the substance that does not materially alter the characteristics of the article or material. The expression ''wholly the growth, product, or manufacture of the United States of America'' refers both to any article which has been entirely grown, produced, or manufactured in the United States of America and to all materials incorporated in an article which have been entirely grown produced, or manufactured in the United States, as distinguished from articles or materials imported into the United States of America from a third country, whether or not such articles or materials were substantially transformed into new or different articles of commerce after their importation into the United States of America. ''Country of origin'' requires that an article or material, not wholly the growth, product, or manufacture of the United States of America, be substantially transformed into a new and different article of commerce, having a new name, character, or use, distinct from the article or material from which it was so transformed. For purpose of determining the 35 percent U.S.A. content requirement under the Agreement, the cost or value of materials which are used in the production of an article in the United States of America, and which are the products of Israel, may be counted in an amount up to 15 percent of the appraised value of the article. Such materials must in fact be products of Israel under the country of origin criteria set forth in the Agreement. 3. Entries to be made in Box 8. Products must be either wholly obtained in accordance with the rules of the Free Trade Agreement or sufficiently worked or processed to fulfill the requirements of the Free Trade Area Agreement. (1) Products wholly grown, produced, or manufactured in the United States enter the Letter P in Box 8. (2) Products sufficiently worked or processed in the United States of America enter in Box 8 a Y value for the sum of the Cost of value domestic materials and the direct cost of processing expressed as a percentage of the ex-factory price of the exported products. (Example: Y = 35%) 4. The declaration of the exporter on this certificate shall be notarized by a notary public and certified by an appropriately consulted local business organization, such as chamber of commerce or board of trade. The conditions specified on this Form are for reference purposes only and do not charge in any way or manner the binding rules of origin as specified in Annex III to the FTA Agreement between the United States of America and Israel. 2001 © American LegalNet, Inc.
