                      Subpart A_General Provisions
 
Sec. 10.15  Fabricated components not subject to the exemption.

    Fabricated components which are not products of the United States 
are excluded from the exemption. In addition, the exemption is not 
applicable to any component exported from the Customs territory of the 
United States:
    (a) From continuous Customs custody with remission, abatement, or 
refund of duty;
    (b) With benefit of drawback;
    (c) To comply with any law of the United States or regulation of any 
Federal agency requiring exportation; or
    (d) After manufacture or production in the United States under 
subheading 9813.00.05, HTSUS (19 U.S.C. 1202).

    Example. Partially completed components of an electric motor are 
imported in several separate shipments and are entered under a temporary 
importation bond to be manufactured into finished motors under the 
provisions of subheading 9813.00.05, HTSUS (19 U.S.C. 1202). The 
components are completed and assembled into finished electric motors. 
The finished motors are exported and are assembled abroad into electric 
fans which are subsequently imported into the United States. 
Irrespective of the fact that the assembly of the motors might involve 
such a substantial change that the motor could be considered a product 
of the United States, no exemption may be given for the value of the 
electric motors, since they were exported after manufacture or 
production in the United States under the provision of subheading 
9813.00.05, HTSUS (19 U.S.C. 1202).
