To qualify for the PEM Convention preferential rate on HS 8541, products must satisfy the origin rule of type change of tariff heading (CTH).

8541Semiconductor devices (for example, diodes, transistors, semiconductor-based transducers); photosensitive semiconductor devices; light-emitting diodes (LED); mounted piezoelectric crystals

CTH

Manufacture from materials of any heading, except that of the product. Diffusion (the process by which a semiconductor substrate is formed) is considered sufficient transformation

OR - alternative rule

MaxNOM

Manufacture in which the value of all non-originating materials used does not exceed 40% of the ex-works price of the product
