Rules of Origin in Importing and Exporting from the U.S.

In order to receive an exemption or reduction of duties, and to be considered a source product, each product must meet 3 criteria:

The value of the materials produced in the country of origin (added value) is at least 35% of the value of the finished product. This value includes processing and production operations, research, development, engineering, etc. costs.
• Direct transportation from the U.S. to Israel: Shipping through a third country is possible as long as the shipment remains under customs control and is not released.
• Attach a declaration of origin of the exporter on the bill.
