Scope of Property & Part-Level Identification

This Certification strictly covers the non-steel roof racking Manufactured Product Components (MPCs) produced by Supplier (the FastRack polymer racking and structural fasteners) as identified in Annex I. It makes no representation as to any other component.

All items delivered under the referenced Purchase Order are explicitly mapped to their corresponding safe-harbor table classifications in Annex I, which provides an exhaustive part-number-to-MPC SKU mapping.

  • The property described herein, including any constituent elements, materials, or subcomponents, was not produced or manufactured by a Prohibited Foreign Entity (PFE).
  • Supplier does not know, or have reason to know, that any prior supplier in the chain of production of that property is a PFE as defined under IRC §7701(a)(51).
  • Supplier is not, and during the term of the Agreement will not become, a Prohibited Foreign Entity as defined in Section 48(a)(5)(C)(iii) of the Internal Revenue Code and any applicable IRS Notices, guidance, or regulations issued thereunder — including a specified foreign entity, a foreign-controlled entity, or a foreign-influenced entity.
