  (a) The products of Jordan described in Annex 2.1 of the Agreement between the United States of America and the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan on the Establishment of a Free Trade Area, entered into force on October 24, 2000, are subject to duty as provided herein.    Products of Jordan, as defined in subdivisions (b) through (d) of this note, that are imported into the customs territory of the United    States and entered under a provision for which a rate of duty appears in the “Special” subcolumn followed by the symbol “JO” in parentheses are eligible for the tariff treatment set forth in the “Special” subcolumn, in accordance with sections 101 and 102 of the    United States-Jordan Free Trade Area Implementation Act (Public Law 107-43, 115 Stat. 243).

  (b) For purposes of this note, subject to the provisions of subdivisions (d) and (e), goods imported into the customs territory of the    United States are eligible for treatment as “products of Jordan” only if–

   (i) such goods are imported directly from Jordan into the customs territory of the United States, and

   (ii) they are–

     (A) wholly the growth, product or manufacture of Jordan, or

     (B) new or different articles of commerce that have been grown, produced or manufactured in Jordan and meet the requirements of subdivision (c) of this note.

  (c) (i) For purposes of subdivision (b)(ii)(A) of this note, except as otherwise provided in subdivision (d) for textile and apparel articles, the expression “ wholly the growth, product or manufacture of Jordan” refers both to--

     (A) an article which has been entirely grown, produced or manufactured in Jordan, and

     (B) all materials incorporated in an article which have been entirely grown, produced or manufactured in Jordan,

   (ii) For purposes of subdivision (b)(ii)(B), goods are eligible for the tariff treatment provided in this note if the sum of–

     (A) the cost or value of the materials produced in Jordan, plus

     (B) the direct costs of processing operations performed in Jordan,

 is not less than 35 percent of the appraised value of such article at the time it is entered. If the cost or value of materials produced in the customs territory of the United States is included with respect to an article to which this subdivision applies, an amount not to exceed 15 percent of the appraised value of the article at the time it is entered that is attributable to such      United States cost or value may be applied toward determining the percentage referred to in this subdivision.

   (iii) No article may be considered to meet the requirements of this note by virtue of having merely undergone– 

    (A) simple combining or packaging operations, or

    (B) mere dilution with water or mere dilution with another substance that does not materially alter the characteristics of the article.

   (iv) For purposes of subdivision (ii)(A), the term “ cost or value of materials” includes–

    (A) the manufacturer’s actual cost for the materials,

    (B) when not included in the manufacturer’s actual cost for the materials, the freight, insurance, packing and all other costs incurred in transporting the materials to the manufacturer’s plant,

    (C) the actual cost of waste or spoilage (material list), less the value of recoverable scrap, and

    (D) taxes and/or duties imposed on the materials by a party to the Agreement, provided they are not remitted upon exportation.

    When a material is provided to the manufacturer without charge, or at less than fair market value, its cost or value shall be determined by computing the sum of (I) all expenses incurred in the growth, production or manufacturer of the material, including general expenses; (II) an amount for profit; and (III) freight, insurance, packing, and all other costs incurred in transporting the material to the manufacturer’s plant. If the pertinent information is not available, the appraising officer may ascertain or estimate the value thereof using all reasonable ways and means at his disposal.

   (v) For purposes of subdivision (ii)(B), the term “ direct costs of processing operations” performed in Jordan means those costs either directly incurred in, or which can be reasonably allocated to, the growth, production, manufacture or assembly of the goods entered under the terms of subdivision (a) of this note. That term includes, but is not limited to, the following, to the extent that they are includible in the appraised value of goods imported into the customs territory of the United States–

    (A) all actual labor costs involved in the growth, production, manufacture or assembly of the specific merchandise, including fringe benefits, on-the-job training and the cost of engineering, supervisory, quality control and similar personnel, and

    (B) dies, molds, tooling and depreciation on machinery and equipment which are allocable to the specific merchandise,

    (C) research, development, design, engineering and blueprint costs insofar as they are allocable to the specific article, and

     (D) costs of inspecting and testing the specific article;

 but that term does not include costs which are not directly attributable to the merchandise concerned, or are not costs of manufacturing the product, such as (I) profit, and (II) general expenses of doing business which are either not allocable to the specific merchandise or are not related to the growth, production, manufacture or assembly of the merchandise, such as administrative salaries, casualty and liability insurance, advertising and salesmen’s salaries, commissions or expenses.

    (B) if shipment is through the territory of an intermediate country, the articles in the shipment do not enter into the commerce of any intermediate country and the invoices, bills of lading and other shipping documents show the United States as the final destination, or

    (C) if shipment is through an intermediate country and the invoices and other documents do not show the United States as the final destination, then the articles in the shipment are imported directly only if they–

     (1) remain under the control of the customs authority in an intermediate country, 

     (2) do not enter into the commerce of an intermediate country except for the purpose of a sale other than at retail, provided that the articles are imported as a result of the original commercial transaction between the importer and the producer or the producer’s sales agent, and

     (3) have not been subjected to operations other than loading and unloading, and other activities necessary to preserve the article in good condition.
