Search Primer

Term list: Separate terms with spaces, not commas or semicolons.

Multi-word term: Place inside quotes to ensure an exact match (e.g. "China import").

Acronyms: Use all capital letters to ensure the search is not looking for that letter sequence instead.

Required term: If a term must be included in any resulting articles, prefix it with a plus sign (e.g., +CBP).

Excluded term: If a term should be excluded from any articles being found, prefix it with a minus sign (e.g., -ruling).

Singular form: Always use the singular form when doing multi-word terms (e.g. "russian export control" instead of "russian export controls").

Shortest word form: When you have different word forms in a quoted (multi-word) term, you want to only include the shortest version if it is the last part of the expression (e.g., "entity list" instead of "entity listing" or "entity listed").

CBP Finds Battery-Electric Semi-Truck Is of US Origin
May 14, 2024 |Customs Rulings

The country of origin for imported components of the "Nikola’s Tre Bev, class 8, battery-electric semi-truck" is the U.S. for government procurement purposes, as the parts undergo a substantial transformation when assembled into an electric truck, CBP said. The components lose their individual identity and become an "integral part" of a new article with a new name, character and use.
