Dutch-Owned Ultrasound System Ruled Made in America
Published Date: 7/16/2026
Notice
Summary
U.S. Customs and Border Protection has officially decided that the Philips Ultrasound System 5100 POC Series is made in the USA. This means the key work that turns parts into the final product happens right here, which can affect trade rules and government buying. If anyone wants to challenge this, they have until August 17, 2026, to speak up.
Analyzed Economic Effects
3 provisions identified: 1 benefits, 0 costs, 2 mixed.
Philips Ultrasound Treated as U.S. Origin
U.S. Customs and Border Protection concluded on July 10, 2026 that the Philips Ultrasound System 5100 POC Series underwent its last substantial transformation in the United States. That means, for purposes of Title III of the Trade Agreements Act of 1979, CBP will consider this product to be of United States origin when agencies evaluate procurements.
Does Not Automatically Mean 'U.S.-Made' Under FAR
CBP's finding is for purposes of the Trade Agreements Act; it does not by itself determine whether the product qualifies as a "U.S.-made end product" under the Federal Acquisition Regulation. The decision letter explicitly recommends consulting the relevant government procuring agency and cites Acetris Health, LLC v. United States for that separate inquiry.
Opportunity to Seek Judicial Review (Deadline)
Any party-at-interest may seek judicial review of this final determination within 30 days of the Federal Register publication; CBP notes that the deadline to seek judicial review is August 17, 2026. Parties that wish to challenge the determination must act by that date.
