(B) the elimination of solvents including solvent water; or
(C) the addition or elimination of water of crystallization.
(vi) A good of heading in chapters 28 through 40 that satisfies one or more of the provisions enumerated in this subdivision shall be treated as an originating good for purposes of this note, except as otherwise specified in such provisions. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, a good is an originating good if it meets the applicable change in tariff classification or satisfies the applicable value content requirement specified in the rules of origin in subdivision (o) for such chapters.

(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;

(C) A good of chapters 30, 31, 33 or 39 shall be treated as an originating good if the deliberate and controlled modification in particle size of the 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 having different essential physical or chemical characteristics from the input materials, occurs in the territory of Colombia or of the United States, or both.
