(ii) Where a specific rule in subdivision (n) of this note is defined using the criterion of a change in tariff classification, and the rule is written to exclude tariff provisions at the level of a chapter, heading or subheading of the tariff schedule, such rule shall be construed to require that materials classified in those excluded provisions be originating for the good to qualify as originating.
(iii) When a heading or subheading of the tariff schedule is subject to alternative specific rules in subdivision (n) of this note, the rule will be considered to be met if a good satisfies one of the alternatives.
(iv) When a single rule is applicable to a group of headings or subheadings, and that rule of origin specifies a change of heading or subheading, the requirement shall be interpreted so that the change of heading or subheading may occur within a single heading or subheading or between headings or subheadings of the group. When, however, a rule refers to a change in heading or subheading “outside that group,” such change in heading or subheading must occur from a heading or subheading that is outside the group of headings or subheadings set out in the rule.
(v) References to weight in the rules set forth in subdivision (n) of this note for goods provided for in chapters 1 through 24 of the tariff schedule are to dry weight, unless otherwise specified in the tariff schedule.
(vi) For purposes of applying this note to goods of chapters 6 through 14, inclusive, agricultural and horticultural goods grown in the territory of a party shall be treated as an originating good even if grown from seeds, bulbs, rootstock, cuttings, grafts, shoots, buds or other live parts of plants imported from a non-party.
(vii) This subdivision confers origin on the goods specified in the provisions below, except as otherwise specified herein. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, a good is originating if it meets the applicable change in tariff classification rules specified in subdivision (n) of this note.
(A) A good of chapters 27 through 40, inclusive (except ethyl isopropyl thionocarbamates of subheading 2930.20 and goods of heading 3823), of the tariff schedule, that is the product of a chemical reaction in the territory of Peru, the United States, or both, shall be treated as originating. For purposes of applying this subdivision to goods of the foregoing chapters, a “chemical reaction” is a process (including a biochemical process) that results in a molecule with a new structure by breaking intramolecular bonds and by forming new intramolecular bonds, or by altering the spatial arrangement of atoms in a molecule. The following are not considered to be chemical reactions for purposes of determining whether a good is originating:
(1) dissolution in water or in another solvent;
(2) the elimination of solvents, including solvent water; or
(3) the addition or elimination of water of crystallization.
(B) For the purposes of chapters 28 through 40, a good that is subject to purification shall be treated as originating provided that one of the following occurs in the territory of Peru, the United States, or both:
(1) the purification results in the elimination of 80 percent of the impurities; or
(2) the purification results in the reduction or elimination of impurities, rendering the good suitable:
(I) as a pharmaceutical, medicinal, cosmetic, veterinary or food grade substance;
(II) as a chemical product or reagent for analytical, diagnostic or laboratory uses;
(III) as an element or component for use in micro-elements;
(IV) for specialized optical uses;

page 592 Peru
(VIII)for nuclear grade uses.
(C) A good of chapters 30, 31 or 33 through 40 (except heading 3808) shall be treated as an originating good if the deliberate and proportionally controlled mixing or blending (including dispersing) of materials to conform to predetermined specifications, resulting in the production of a good having physical or chemical characteristics that are relevant to the purposes or uses of the good and are different from the input materials, occurs in the territory of Peru, the United States, or both.
(D) A good of chapter 30, 31, 33 or 39 shall be treated as originating if the deliberate and controlled reduction in particle size of a good, including micronizing by dissolving a polymer and subsequent precipitation, other than by merely crushing or pressing, resulting in a good having a defined particle size, defined particle size distribution or defined surface area, which is relevant to the purposes of the resulting good and have different physical or chemical characteristics from the input materials occurs in the territory of Peru, the United States, or both
(E) A good of chapters 28 through 38 shall be treated as originating if the production of standards materials occurs in the territory of Peru, the United States, or both. For purposes of this subdivision, “standards materials” (including standards solutions) are preparations suitable for analytical, calibrating or referencing uses, having precise degrees of purity or proportions that are certified by the manufacturer.
(F) A good of chapters 28 through 39 shall be treated as originating if the isolation or separation of isomers from mixtures of isomers occurs in the territory of Peru, the United States, or both.
(G) A good of chapters 28 through 38 that undergoes a change from one tariff classification to another in the territory of Peru, the United States, or both, as a result of the separation of one or more individual materials from a man-made mixture shall not be treated as originating unless the isolated material underwent a chemical reaction in the territory of Peru, the United States, or both.
(viii) (A) A textile good of chapters 50 through 60 of the tariff schedule and imported under heading 9822.06.20 of the tariff schedule shall be considered originating if it is wholly formed in the territory of Peru, the United States, or both from--
(1) one or more fibers and yarns listed in U.S. note 29 to subchapter XXII of chapter 98; or
(2) a combination of the fibers and yarns listed in U.S. note 29 to such subchapter XXII and one or more fibers and yarns that originate under the terms of this note.
The originating fibers and yarns referred to in subdivision (A)(2) may contain up to 10 percent by weight of fibers or yarns that do not undergo an applicable change in tariff classification set out in subdivision (n) of this note. Any elastomeric yarn contained in such originating yarns must be formed in the territory of Peru, the United States, or both.
(B) An apparel good of chapter 61 or 62 of the tariff schedule and imported under heading 9822.06.20 of the tariff schedule shall be considered originating if it is cut or knit to shape, or both, and sewn or otherwise assembled in the territory of Peru, the United States, or both, and if the fabric of the outer shell, exclusive of collars and cuffs where applicable, is wholly of--
(1) one or more fabrics listed in U.S. note 29 to subchapter XXII of chapter 98; or
(2) one or more fabrics or knit to shape components formed in the territory of Peru, the United States, or both, from one or more of the yarns listed in U.S. note 29 to such subchapter XXII; or
(3) any combination of the fabrics referred to in subdivision (B)(1), the fabrics or knit to shape components referred to in subdivision (B)(2) or one or more fabrics or knit to shape components originating under this note.
The originating fabrics referred to in subdivision (B)(3) may contain up to 10 percent by weight of fibers or yarns that do not undergo an applicable change in tariff classification set out in subdivision (n) of this note. Any elastomeric yarn contained in an originating fabric or knit to shape component referred to in subdivision (B)(3) must be formed in the territory of Peru, the United States, or both.
