Subdivision C—Goods produced entirely in the US or in the US and Australia exclusively from originating materials
153YC  Goods produced entirely in the US or in the US and Australia exclusively from originating materials
		Goods are US originating goods if they are produced entirely in the US, or entirely in the US and Australia, exclusively from originating materials.
Subdivision D—Goods (except clothing and textiles) produced entirely in the US or in the US and Australia from non‑originating materials
153YD  Simplified outline
		The following is a simplified outline of this Subdivision:
•	This Subdivision sets out when goods (except clothing and textiles) that are produced entirely in the US, or in the US and Australia, from non‑originating materials only, or from non‑originating materials and originating materials, are US originating goods.
•	The goods may be US originating goods under section 153YE (which applies to all goods except clothing and textiles).
•	The goods may also be US originating goods under section 153YF (which applies only to goods that are chemicals, plastics or rubber).
153YE  Goods (except clothing and textiles) produced entirely in the US or in the US and Australia from non‑originating materials
	(1)	Goods are US originating goods if:
	(a)	a tariff classification (the final classification) that is specified in column 2 of the Schedule 1 tariff table applies to the goods; and
	(b)	they are produced entirely in the US, or entirely in the US and Australia, from non‑originating materials only or from non‑originating materials and originating materials; and
	(c)	if any of the following 3 requirements apply in relation to the goods—that requirement is satisfied.
First requirement
	(2)	Subject to subsection (3), the first requirement applies only if a change in tariff classification is specified in column 3 of the Schedule 1 tariff table opposite the final classification for the goods. The first requirement is that:
	(a)	each of the non‑originating materials satisfies the transformation test (see subsection (8)); or
	(b)	the following are satisfied:
	(i)	the total value of all the non‑originating materials does not exceed 10% of the customs value of the goods;
	(ii)	if one or more of the non‑originating materials are prescribed for the purposes of this paragraph—each of those non‑originating materials satisfies the transformation test (see subsection (8)).
Note 1:	Paragraph (2)(b) relates to Article 5.2 (De Minimis) of the Agreement.
Note 2:	The value of the non‑originating materials is to be worked out in accordance with the regulations: see subsection 153YA(2).
	(3)	However, the first requirement does not apply if:
	(a)	an alternative requirement to the change in tariff classification is also specified in column 3 of the Schedule 1 tariff table opposite the final classification for the goods; and
	(b)	that alternative requirement is satisfied.
Second requirement
	(4)	Subject to subsection (5), the second requirement applies only if a regional value content requirement is specified in column 3 of the Schedule 1 tariff table opposite the final classification for the goods. The second requirement is that the goods satisfy that regional value content requirement.
	(5)	However, the second requirement does not apply if:
	(a)	an alternative requirement to the regional value content requirement is also specified in column 3 of the Schedule 1 tariff table opposite the final classification for the goods; and
	(b)	that alternative requirement is satisfied.
	(6)	The regulations may prescribe different regional value content requirements for different kinds of goods.
Third requirement
	(7)	The third requirement is that the goods satisfy any other requirement that is specified in, or referred to in, column 3 of the Schedule 1 tariff table opposite the final classification for the goods.
Transformation test
	(8)	A non‑originating material satisfies the transformation test if:
	(a)	it satisfies the change in tariff classification that is specified in column 3 of the Schedule 1 tariff table opposite the final classification for the goods; or
	(b)	it does not satisfy the change in tariff classification mentioned in paragraph (a), but it was produced entirely in the US, or entirely in the US and Australia, from other non‑originating materials, and each of those materials satisfies the transformation test (including by one or more applications of this subsection).
Note 1:	Paragraph (8)(b) relates to paragraph 2 of Article 5.3 (Accumulation) of the Agreement.
Note 2:	Subsection (8) operates in a recursive manner: a non‑originating material may satisfy the transformation test in its own right, or it may satisfy it because each non‑originating material used to produce it satisfies the transformation test (whether because each of those materials does so in its own right, or because each non‑originating material used to produce the material does so), and so on.
153YF  Goods that are chemicals, plastics or rubber
		Goods are US originating goods if:
	(a)	they are produced entirely in the US, or entirely in the US and Australia, from non‑originating materials only or from non‑originating materials and originating materials; and
	(b)	they are goods that are classified to any of Chapters 28 to 40 of the Harmonized System; and
	(c)	a tariff classification (the final classification) that is specified in column 2 of the Schedule 1 tariff table applies to the goods; and
	(d)	before the tariff classifications in column 2 of that table in relation to Chapter 28 or 39 of the Harmonized System, the regulations specify particular rules in column 3 of that table; and
	(e)	those rules apply in relation to the final classification for the goods; and
	(f)	the goods satisfy those rules.
Subdivision E—Goods that are clothing or textiles produced entirely in the US or in the US and Australia from non‑originating materials
153YG  Simplified outline
		The following is a simplified outline of this Subdivision:
•	This Subdivision sets out when goods that are clothing or textiles that are produced entirely in the US, or in the US and Australia, from non‑originating materials only, or from non‑originating materials and originating materials, are US originating goods.
•	The goods may be US originating goods under section 153YH (which applies to all clothing and textiles).
•	The goods may also be US originating goods under section 153YI (which applies only to clothing and textiles classified to Chapter 62 of the Harmonized System).
153YH  Goods that are clothing or textiles produced entirely in the US or in the US and Australia from non‑originating materials
	(1)	Subject to subsection (5), goods are US originating goods if:
	(a)	a tariff classification (the final classification) that is specified in column 2 of the Schedule 2 tariff table applies to the goods; and
	(b)	they are produced entirely in the US, or entirely in the US and Australia, from non‑originating materials only or from non‑originating materials and originating materials; and
	(c)	if any of the following 2 requirements apply in relation to the goods—that requirement is satisfied.
Note:	Subsection (5) sets out a qualification for goods put up in a set for retail sale.
First requirement
	(2)	The first requirement applies only if a change in tariff classification is specified in column 3 of the Schedule 2 tariff table opposite the final classification for the goods. The first requirement is that:
	(a)	subject to subsection (3), each of the non‑originating materials satisfies the transformation test (see subsection (7)); or
	(b)	the following are satisfied:
	(i)	the total weight of all the non‑originating materials does not exceed 7% of the total weight of the goods;
	(ii)	if one or more of the non‑originating materials are prescribed for the purposes of this paragraph—each of those non‑originating materials satisfies the transformation test (see subsection (7)).
Note:	Paragraph (2)(b) relates to paragraphs 6 and 7 (De Minimis) of Article 4.2 of the Agreement.
	(3)	In relation to goods classified to Chapter 61, 62 or 63 of the Harmonized System, paragraph (2)(a) is to be applied by applying:
	(a)	for goods covered by Chapter 61 of the Harmonized System—Chapter Rule 2 for Chapter 61 that is set out in the Schedule 2 tariff table; and
	(b)	for goods covered by Chapter 62 of the Harmonized System—Chapter Rule 3 for Chapter 62 that is set out in the Schedule 2 tariff table; and
	(c)	for goods covered by Chapter 63 of the Harmonized System—Chapter Rule 1 for Chapter 63 that is set out in the Schedule 2 tariff table.
Second requirement
	(4)	The second requirement is that the goods satisfy any other requirement that is specified in, or referred to in, column 3 of the Schedule 2 tariff table opposite the final classification for the goods.
Goods put up in a set for retail sale
	(5)	However, if:
	(a)	the goods are put up in a set for retail sale; and
	(b)	the goods are classified in accordance with Rule 3 of the Interpretation Rules;
the goods are US originating goods only if:
	(c)	all of the goods in the set are US originating goods under this Division; or
	(d)	the total value of the goods in the set that are not US originating goods under this Division does not exceed 10% of the customs value of the set of goods.
Note:	The value of the goods in the set is to be worked out in accordance with the regulations: see subsection 153YA(2).
	(6)	In applying paragraph (5)(c), assume the goods were not part of a set.
Example:	A skirt and a belt are put up in a set for retail sale. The skirt and the belt have been classified under Rule 3 of the Interpretation Rules according to the tariff classification applicable to skirts.
	The effect of subsection (6) is that the origin of the belt must now be determined according to the tariff classification applicable to belts.
Transformation test
	(7)	A non‑originating material satisfies the transformation test if:
	(a)	it satisfies the change in tariff classification that is specified in column 3 of the Schedule 2 tariff table opposite the final classification for the goods; or
	(b)	it does not satisfy the change in tariff classification mentioned in paragraph (a), but it was produced entirely in the US, or entirely in the US and Australia, from other non‑originating materials, and each of those materials satisfies the transformation test (including by one or more applications of this subsection).
Note 1:	Paragraph (7)(b) relates to paragraph 2 of Article 5.3 (Accumulation) of the Agreement.
Note 2:	Subsection (7) operates in a recursive manner: a non‑originating material may satisfy the transformation test in its own right, or it may satisfy it because each non‑originating material used to produce it satisfies the transformation test (whether because each of those materials does so in its own right, or because each non‑originating material used to produce the material does so), and so on.
153YI  Goods that are clothing and textiles classified to Chapter 62 of the Harmonized System
		Goods are US originating goods if:
	(a)	they are produced entirely in the US, or entirely in the US and Australia, from non‑originating materials only or from non‑originating materials and originating materials; and
	(b)	they are goods that are classified to Chapter 62 of the Harmonized System; and
	(c)	either:
	(i)	in any case—the goods satisfy Chapter Rule 2 for Chapter 62 that is set out in the Schedule 2 tariff table; or
	(ii)	in the case of goods that are classified to subheading 6205.20 or 6205.30 of Chapter 62 of the Harmonized System—the goods satisfy the subheading rule for that subheading that is set out in the Schedule 2 tariff table.
Subdivision F—Other US originating goods
153YJ  Standard accessories, spare parts and tools
	(1)	If goods (the underlying goods) are imported into Australia with standard accessories, standard spare parts or standard tools, then the accessories, spare parts or tools are US originating goods if:
	(a)	the underlying goods are US originating goods; and
	(b)	the accessories, spare parts or tools are not invoiced separately from the underlying goods; and
	(c)	the quantities and value of the accessories, spare parts or tools are the usual quantities and value in relation to the underlying goods.
	(2)	In working out if the underlying goods are US originating goods, if the goods must satisfy a regional value content requirement under Subdivision D, the regulations must require the value of the accessories, spare parts or tools to be taken into account for the purposes of that requirement.
Note:	The value of the accessories, spare parts or tools is to be worked out in accordance with the regulations: see subsection 153YA(2).
Subdivision G—Packaging materials and containers
153YK  Packaging materials and containers
	(1)	If:
	(a)	goods are packaged for retail sale in packaging material or a container; and
	(b)	the packaging material or container is classified with the goods in accordance with Rule 5 of the Interpretation Rules;
then the packaging material or container is to be disregarded for the purposes of this Division (with 1 exception).
	(2)	The exception is that in working out if the goods are US originating goods, if the goods must satisfy a regional value content requirement under Subdivision D, the regulations must require the value of the packaging material or container to be taken into account for the purposes of that requirement.
Note:	The value of the packaging material or container is to be worked out in accordance with the regulations: see subsection 153YA(2).
Subdivision H—Consignment
153YL  Consignment
	(1)	Goods are not US originating goods under this Division if:
	(a)	they are transported through a country or place other than the US or Australia; and
	(b)	they undergo any process of production in that country or place (other than unloading, reloading, any operation to preserve them in good condition or any operation that is necessary for them to be transported to Australia).
	(2)	This section applies despite any other provision of this Division.

	(1)	If the work is a recorded performance that has been altered by a person other than a performer in the performance, it is an act of false attribution of performership in relation to the performer to deal with a copy of the recorded performance as so altered, as being a copy of the unaltered recorded performance, if, to the knowledge of the attributor, the copy of the recorded performance is not a copy of the unaltered recorded performance.
	(2)	Subsection (1) does not apply if:
	(a)	the effect of the alteration is insubstantial; or
	(b)	the alteration was required by law to be made, or was otherwise necessary to avoid a breach of any law.

195AZGD  Presumption as to subsistence of copyright

195AZGE  Presumption as to subsistence of performer’s moral rights
	(1)	In an action brought under this Part for an infringement of a moral right in respect of a recorded performance, if copyright is presumed or proved to have subsisted in the recorded performance when the infringement is alleged to have occurred, then the moral right is presumed to have subsisted in the recorded performance at that time.

195AZGF  Presumptions in relation to performership
	(1)	If a name purporting to be the name of a performer appears on a record embodying a performance so as to indicate that the person was a performer in the performance, then, in an action brought under this Part, the person whose name so appeared is, if it was his or her true name or a name by which he or she was commonly known, presumed, unless the contrary is established, to be a performer in the performance.
	(2)	If a name purporting to be the name of a group of performers appears on a record embodying a performance so as to indicate that the group performed in the performance, then, in an action brought under this Part, the group whose name so appeared is, if it was a name by which the group was commonly known, presumed, unless the contrary is established, to have performed in the performance.

195AZP  Parts of performances
		Moral rights in respect of a live performance or recorded performance apply in relation to the whole or a substantial part of the performance.
195AZQ  Performances that have more than one performer
	(1)	This section applies to a live performance or recorded performance that has more than one performer.
	(2)	A performer’s right of attribution of performership in respect of the performance is a right of the performer to be identified as a performer.
Example:	If X and Y are the performers in a performance, then each of them has the right to be identified. However, there is no infringement of X’s moral right if Y is not identified (and vice versa).
Note:	See also subsection 195ABC(3), which relates to the use of group names.
	(3)	An act of false attribution of performership in respect of the performance infringes each performer’s right not to have performership falsely attributed.
Example:	X and Y are the performers in a performance that is falsely attributed to X and Z. This false attribution infringes X’s moral right and Y’s moral right.
	(4)	The right of integrity of performership in respect of the performance is a right of each performer.
Example:	X and Y are the performers in a performance. The performance is subjected to derogatory treatment that is prejudicial to X’s reputation but not to Y’s reputation. The result is an infringement of X’s right of integrity of performership but not an infringement of Y’s right of integrity of performership.
	(5)	The consent of one performer to any act or omission affecting his or her moral rights in respect of the performance does not affect the moral rights of any other performer in respect of the performance.
195AZR  Application
	(1)	Moral rights in respect of a live performance only subsist in a live performance that occurs after the commencement of this section.
	(2)	Moral rights in respect of a recorded performance only subsist if the live performance concerned occurs after the commencement of this section.
