Sec.  1620.5  What goods are considered as ``produced for commerce.''

    Goods (as defined in section 3(i) of the FLSA) are ``produced for 
commerce'' if they are ``produced, manufactured, mined, handled or in 
any other manner worked on'' in any State for sale, trade, 
transportation, transmission, shipment, or delivery, to any place 
outside thereof. Goods are produced for commerce where the producer 
intends, hopes, expects, or has reason to believe that the goods or any 
unsegregated part of them will move (in the same or in an altered form 
or as a part of ingredient of other goods) in interstate or foreign 
commerce. If such movement of the goods in commerce can reasonably be 
anticipated by the producer when the goods are produced, it makes no 
difference whether the producer or the person to whom the goods are 
transferred puts the goods in interstate or foreign commerce. The fact 
that goods do move in interstate or foreign commerce is strong evidence 
that the producer intended, hoped, expected, or had reason to believe 
that they would so move. Goods may also be produced ``for commerce'' 
where they are to be used within the State and not transported in any 
form across State lines. This is true where the goods are used to serve 
the needs of the instrumentalities or facilities by which interstate or 
foreign commerce is carried on within the State. For examples, see 29 
CFR 776.20.
