Automotive Goods Sample Clauses
The 'Automotive Goods' clause defines the specific products, components, or materials related to the automotive industry that are covered under the agreement. It typically outlines what qualifies as automotive goods, such as vehicle parts, accessories, or finished vehicles, and may specify standards or requirements these goods must meet. By clearly identifying the scope of goods involved, this clause ensures both parties understand their obligations and helps prevent disputes over what items are included in the contract.

Automotive Goods. An automotive good is defined as either a covered vehicle (a passenger vehicle, light truck, or heavy truck), or a part, component, or material listed in Tables A.1, A.2, B, C, D, E, F, or G of the Appendix to Annex 4–B of the USMCA (also referred to as the ‘‘Automotive Appendix’’). See section 202A(a)(4) and (a)(7) of the USMCA Implementation Act (19 U.S.C. 4532(a)(4) and (a)(7)). The definitions of passenger vehicle, light truck, and heavy truck are contained in the USMCA Automotive Appendix. In addition to the general rules of origin set forth in USMCA Chapter 4, the USMCA contains numerous product-specific rules of origin for automotive goods and additional provisions. These product- specific rules of origin and additional requirements are contained in the USMCA Automotive Appendix, including higher regional value content (RVC) thresholds than those in NAFTA, labor value content (LVC) requirement, steel purchasing requirement, and aluminum purchasing requirement. See USMCA Article 4.10 and Appendix to Annex 4–B. The importer, exporter, or producer who completes the certification of origin for a covered vehicle is certifying that the covered vehicle is an originating good that has complied with all the product-specific rules of origin, including the LVC, steel purchasing, and aluminum purchasing requirements. Section 202A of the USMCA Implementation Act (19 U.S.C. 4532) sets forth the special rules for automotive goods, including definitions specific to automotive goods, the vehicle certification requirements for covered vehicles, the alternative staging regime provisions, the administration of the high-wage components of the LVC requirement by the Department of Labor (DOL), and the extra procedures for verification of the LVC requirement. Covered vehicles imported into the United States are only eligible for USMCA preferential tariff treatment if the producer of the covered vehicle (passenger vehicles, light trucks, and heavy trucks) submits three properly filed vehicle certifications to CBP. These vehicle certifications are the LVC certification, steel purchasing certification, and aluminum purchasing certification. The product-specific rules of origin for automotive goods are set forth in General Note 11, HTSUS, Appendix A to part 182 of title 19 of the CFR (containing the Uniform Regulations regarding Rules of Origin), and the USMCA Automotive Appendix. To address the specific additional requirements and procedures applicable to claims for USMCA pre...
