(H) Notwithstanding subdivision (c)(vii)(G], goods described in that paragraph shall be con- sidered to have been transformed in the territory of Canada and be treated as goods origi- nating in the territory of Canada if— (1) the value of materials originating in the territory of Canada and/or the United States that are used or consumed in the production of the goods plus the direct cost of assembling the goods in the territory of Canada and/or the United States constitute not less than 50 percent of the value of the goods when exported to the territory of the United States, and (2) the goods have not subsequent to assembly undergone processing or further assembly in a third country and they meet the requirements of subdivision (c)(vii](E) of this note.
