"(10)(A) The term 'value added in the United States and Canada' means a percentage derived as follows: "'Value added' equals the total purchase price, minus total purchase price of foreign content, divided by the total purchase price. Costs incurred or profits made at the final vehicle assembly point and beyond (i.e., advertising, assembly, labor, interest payments, profits, etc.) shall not be included in such calculation. "(B) In determining the origin and value added of engines and transmissions, the following groupings will be used: "(i) Engines of same displacement produced at the same plant. "(ii) Transmissions of the same type produced at the same plant. "(11) The term 'carline' means a name denoting a group of vehicles which has a degree of commonality in construction (e.g., body, chassis). Carline does not consider any level of decor of opulence and is not generally distinguished by such characteristics as roof line, number of doors, seats, or vdndows, except for light duty trucks. Light duty trucks are considered to be different carlines than passenger cars. "(12) The term 'country of origin', in referring to the ori^n of an engine or transmission, means the country in which 50 percent or more of the dollar value added of an engine or transmission originated. If no country accounts for 50 percent or more of the dollar value, then the country of origin is the country from which the largest share of the value added originated. The estimate of the percentage of the dollar value shall be based upon the purchase price of direct materials as received at individual engine or transmission plants of engines of the same displacement and transmissions of the same transmission type. For the purpose of determining the country of origin for engines and transmissions, the United States and Canada shall be treated separately.
