Dear Ms. Jolley: In your letter dated January 27, 2005, you requested a classification ruling for a pair of women’s knit pants. The item will be returned as requested. The submitted garment, style 5139, is a pair of woman’s knit pull-on pants constructed from 100 percent cotton 1x1 rib knit fabric.

The garment will also be imported under the same style number with a fiber content of 90 percent cotton, ten-percent polyester rib knit fabric.

The duty rate will be 14.9 percent ad valorem. The pullover falls within textile category designation 348.
