Show the answer and walk-through

CBP's answer: A. A: A material whose country of origin is the same as the country in which the good is produced.

Section 102.1(d) defines a domestic material as a material whose country of origin, as determined under the rules, is the same country as the country in which the good is produced. That is A. The other choices describe inputs used in production, fungible materials and natural materials, not the definition of a domestic material.

“Domestic material” means a material whose country of origin as determined under these rules is the same country as the country in which the good is produced. 19 CFR 102.1(d)
