                  TITLE 31--MONEY AND FINANCE: TREASURY
 
 CHAPTER V--OFFICE OF FOREIGN ASSETS CONTROL, DEPARTMENT OF THE TREASURY
 
PART 500--FOREIGN ASSETS CONTROL REGULATIONS--Table of Contents
 
                       Subpart D--Interpretations
 
Sec. 500.412  Process vs. manufacture.

    A commodity subject to Sec. 500.204 remains subject howsoever it has 
been processed. It should not be assumed that a commodity which has 
undergone operations other than those listed in Sec. 500.204(a)(1), has 
become a manufactured form of the commodity rather than a processed form 
thereof. In case of question, a ruling should be requested from the 
Office of Foreign Assets Control. Requests for rulings in the form of 
license applications or otherwise should include adequate technical 
detail. It should be noted that it is quite possible for merchandise to 
have North Korea, North Viet-Nam, Cambodia, or South Viet-Nam as its 
``country of origin'' for Foreign Assets Control purposes while having 
some other country as its ``country of origin'' for marking or 
statistical purposes.
