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.
