Example of a good imported to a Party in a disassembled form but classified as an assembled good (paragraph 1 of Article 34) Company A produces a gas turbine (HS8411.82) in Japan, which is an extremely large machine and plans to export it to Indonesia under the Agreement. The gas turbine qualifies as an originating good of Japan. Company A exports it in a disassembled form (a group of lots) for the convenience of transportation. In this case, the Indonesian customs authority classifies the group of lots as an assembled good( “the article complete, presented disassembled”), i.e., an assembled gas turbine by virtue of Rule 2(a) of the General Rules for the Interpretation of the Harmonized System1. Its originating status is not lost and it is classified as a gas turbine (HS8411.82).
