(C) For the purposes of this note–
page 273 Chile
(1) the term “material” means a good that is used in the production of another good, including a part, ingredient or indirect material;
(2) the term “material that is self-produced” means a material that is an originating good produced by a producer of a good and used in the production of that good; and
(3) a “nonoriginating good or material” is a good or material, as the case may be, that does not qualify as an originating good under this note.

(iii) A good that has undergone production necessary to qualify as an originating good under this note shall not be considered to be an originating good if, subsequent to that production, the good undergoes further production or any other operation outside the territory of Chile or of the United States, other than unloading, reloading or any other process necessary to preserve the good in good condition or to transport the good to the territory of Chile or of the United States.
(d) Textile and apparel articles.
(i) Except as provided in subdivision (ii) below, a good provided for in chapters 50 through 63 of the tariff schedule that is not an originating good under the terms of this note, because certain fibers or yarns used in the production of the component of the good that determines the tariff classification of the good do not undergo an applicable change in tariff classification set out in subdivision (n) of this note, shall nonetheless be considered to be an originating good if the total weight of all such fibers or yarns in that component is not more than seven percent of the total weight of that component. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, a textile or apparel good containing elastomeric yarns in the component of the good that determines the tariff classification of the good shall be considered to be an originating good only if such yarns are wholly formed in the territory of Chile or of the United States.
(ii) Notwithstanding the rules set forth in subdivision (n) of this note, textile and apparel goods classifiable as goods put up in sets for retail sale as provided under general rule of interpretation 3 to the tariff schedule shall not be considered to be originating goods unless each of the goods in the set is an originating good or the total value of the nonoriginating goods in the set does not exceed 10 percent of the value of the set determined for purposes of assessing customs duties.
(e) De minimis.
(i) Except as provided in subdivision (ii) below, a good (other than a textile or apparel good described in subdivision (d) above) that does not undergo a change in tariff classification pursuant to subdivision (n) of this note shall nonetheless be considered to be an originating good if–
(A) the value of all nonoriginating materials that are used in the production of the good and do not undergo the applicable change in tariff classification does not exceed 10 percent of the adjusted value of the good;
(B) the value of such nonoriginating materials is included in calculating the value of nonoriginating materials for any applicable regional value-content requirement under this note; and
(C) the good meets all other applicable requirements of this note.
(ii) Subdivision (e)(i) does not apply to–
(A) a nonoriginating material provided for in chapter 4, or a nonoriginating dairy preparation containing over 10 percent by weight of milk solids provided for in subheading 1901.90 or 2106.90 that is used in the production of a good provided for in chapter 4;

(f) Accumulation.
(i) For purposes of this note, originating goods or materials from the territory of either Chile or the United States that are used in the production of a good in the territory of the other country shall be considered to originate in the territory of such other country.
(ii) A good that is produced in the territory of Chile or of the United States, or both, by one or more producers, is an originating good if the good satisfies all of the applicable requirements of this note.
(g) Regional value content.
(i) Where a rule set forth in subdivision (n) of this note specifies a regional value content for a good, the regional value content of such good shall be calculated, at the choice of the person claiming the tariff treatment authorized by this note for such good, on the basis of the build-down method or the build-up method described below, unless otherwise specified in this note:
page 275 Chile
(A) For the build-down method, the regional value content may be calculated on the basis of the formula RVC = ((AV - VNM)/AV) x 100, where RVC is the regional value content, expressed as a percentage; AV is the adjusted value; and VNM is the value of nonoriginating materials used by the producer in the production of the good; or
(B) For the build-up method, the regional value content may be calculated on the basis of the formula RVC = (VOM /AV) x 100, where RVC is the regional value content, expressed as a percentage; AV is the adjusted value; and VOM is the value of originating materials used by the producer in the production of the good.
(ii) Value of materials.
(A) For purposes of calculating the regional value content of a good under subdivision (i) and for purposes of applying the de minimis provisions of subdivision (e) of this note, the value of a material is:
(1) in the case of a material imported by the producer of the good, the adjusted value of the material;
(2) in the case of a material acquired in the territory where the good is produced, except for a material to which subdivision (3) below applies, the producer’s price actually paid or payable for the material;
(3) in the case of a material provided to the producer without charge, or at a price reflecting a discount or similar reduction, the sum of:
(I) all expenses incurred in the growth, production or manufacture of the material, including general expenses, and
(II) an amount for profit; or
(4) in the case of a material that is self-produced, the sum of–
(I) all expenses incurred in the production of the material, including general expenses, and
(II) an amount for profit.
(B) The value of materials may be adjusted as follows:
(1) for originating materials, the following expenses, if not included under subdivision (A) above, may be added to the value of the originating material:
(I) the costs of freight, insurance, packing and all other costs incurred in transporting the material to the location of the producer;
(II) duties, taxes and customs brokerage fees on the material paid in the territory of Chile or of the United States, or both, other than duties and taxes that are waived, refunded, refundable or otherwise recoverable, including credit against duty or tax paid or payable; and
(III) the cost of waste and spoilage resulting from the use of the material in the production of the good, less the value of renewable scrap or by-product; and
(2) for non-originating materials, if included under subdivision (A) above, the following expenses may be deducted from the value of the nonoriginating material:
(I) the costs of freight, insurance, packing and all other costs incurred in transporting the material to the location of the producer;
(II) duties, taxes and customs brokerage fees on the material paid in the territory of Chile or of the United States, or both, other than duties and taxes that are waived, refunded, refundable or otherwise recoverable, including credit against duty or tax paid or payable;
page 276 Chile
(III) the cost of waste and spoilage resulting from the use of the material in the production of the good, less the value of renewable scrap or by-products; or
(IV) the cost of originating materials used in the production of the nonoriginating material in the territory of Chile or of the United States.
(C) Any cost or value referred to in this note shall be recorded and maintained in accordance with the generally accepted accounting principles applicable in the territory of the country in which the good is produced (whether Chile or the United States). Such principles are the principles, rules and procedures, including both broad and specific guidelines, that define the accounting practices accepted in the territory of Chile or of the United States, as the case may be.
(h) Accessories, spare parts or tools.
Accessories, spare parts or tools delivered with a good that form part of the good's standard accessories, spare parts or tools shall be treated as a material used in the production of the good, if:
(i) the accessories, spare parts or tools are classified with and not invoiced separately from the good; and
(ii) the quantities and value of the accessories, spare parts or tools are customary for the good.
(i) Fungible goods and materials.
(i) A person claiming the tariff treatment provided in this note for a good may claim that a fungible good or material is originating either based on the physical segregation of each fungible good or material or by using an inventory management method. For purposes of this subdivision, the term “inventory management method” means:
(A) averaging,
(B) “last-in, first-out,”
(C) “first-in, first out,” or
(D) any other method that is recognized in the generally accepted accounting principles of the country in which the production is performed (whether Chile or the United States) or otherwise accepted by that country.
The term “fungible goods” or fungible materials” means goods or materials, as the case may be, that are interchangeable for commercial purposes and the properties of which are essentially identical.
(ii) A person selecting an inventory management method under subdivision (i) above for particular fungible goods or materials shall continue to use that method for those fungible goods or materials throughout the fiscal year of that person.
(j) Packaging materials and containers.
(i) Packaging materials and containers in which a good is packaged for retail sale, if classified with the good for which the tariff treatment under the terms of this note is claimed, shall be disregarded in determining whether all nonoriginating materials used in the production of the good undergo the applicable change in tariff classification set out in subdivision (n) of this note and, if the good is subject to a regional value-content requirement, the value of such packaging materials and containers shall be taken into account as originating or nonoriginating materials, as the case may be, in calculating the regional value content of the good.
(ii) Packing materials and containers for shipment shall be disregarded in determining whether–
(A) the nonoriginating materials used in the production of the good undergo an applicable change in tariff classification set out in subdivision (n) of this note; and
(B) the good satisfies a regional value-content requirement.
(k) Indirect materials.
