CBP Makes Country of Origin Determination on Certain Oscilloscopes

U.S. Customs and Border Protection made a final determination that the country of origin of certain Agilent oscilloscopes for purposes of U.S. government procurement is Singapore. The final determination ran in the Federal Register May 1, 2012.

CBP was asked to consider five scenarios regarding the assembly and programming of the Agilent’s MSOX/DSOX200A and MSOX/DSOX3000A series oscilloscopes . Based upon the facts presented, CBP concluded in the final determination that for each scenario the assembly and programming operations performed in Singapore substantially transform the components of the oscilloscopes, so the country of origin of the oscilloscopes for purposes of U.S. government procurement is Singapore.

Agilent imports the MSOX/DSOX200A and MSOX/DSOX3000A series oscilloscopes, which are used to measure voltage in a variety of research, design, production and evaluation applications, from Malaysia. The two model series include 28 different configurations with varying bandwidth and sampling rates.
