§ 734.4

De minimis U.S. content

EAR · Part 734

Foreign-made items that incorporate controlled U.S. content above a threshold are themselves subject to the EAR. The general threshold is 25%. 600-series and 9x515 content is often 10% or 0% to Country Group D:5. The calculation is a document, not a vibe — bill of materials, fair market value, and the right ECCNs.

A 0% de minimis rule means the foreign item is always subject to the EAR if it has any of that U.S. content.
Encryption and some 5A002 content have special de minimis paths. Read the paragraph; do not analogize.
