Review note, as released

Parsed by @origin/rulebook-ingest (Annex 4-B adapter); awaiting licensed review. Effective date not stated per provision on the page; the loader sets it from the reviewer’s explicit --effective-from decision (D-91), never a default. Chapter note: Note 1: For the purposes of this Chapter, the term “printed circuit assembly” means a good consisting of one or more printed circuits of heading 85.34 with one or more active elements assembled thereon, with or without passive elements. For the purposes of this Note, “active elements” means diodes, transistors and similar semiconductor devices, whether or not photosensitive, of heading 85.41 and integrated circuits of heading 85.42 and microassemblies of heading 85.43 or 85.48. Chapter note: Note 2: The origin of the goods of Chapter 90 shall be determined without regard to the origin of any automatic data processing machines or units thereof of heading 84.71, or parts and accessories thereof of heading 84.73, which may be included therewith. Tariff item rule(s) 9005.90.aa carried with the rule for the rest of the subheading (9005.90); each alternative names the goods it applies to (D-106). Grammar elements (D-100): good_description, no_change_rvc, rvc, tariff_item. Edition HS2022 and effective date 2020-07-01 set by FSRC at load (D-91; OPEN-06: the Annex is written against HS 2012 nomenclature; transposition not applied). Approved in bulk on the owner's instruction (FSRC owner (user 480c01a9-b5b3-4a3e-a5d0-223e73975b24), 2026-11-10; D-73).

Edition of the Harmonized System: the product-specific rules of CUSMA Annex 4-B were written against the 2012 edition (HS 2012). This release applies them to codes of today’s tariffs, which follow the 2022 edition (HS 2022), without transposing them (open question OPEN-06). Where a code was created, split or renumbered after 2012, check the rule against the official text.
