Weighing all these factors, we believe that the assembly operation of sewing the panels and other pieces into a finished pullover and golf shirt may not be complex enough to constitute a substantial transformation by itself. Nevertheless, we are of the opinion that the overall processing operations (i.e., marking, cutting, sewing, inspection, trimming, ironing, and packaging, and in the pullover, the additional operations of embroidering and pigment washing) performed in the single insular possession are substantial. For this reason, and in view of the production in the Northern Mariana Islands of distinct articles of commerce in the form of shirt and pullover panels and completed pullovers and shirts, we find that the double substantial transformation requirement is satisfied. Further, we do not believe that this is the type of minimal, "pass-through" operation that should be disqualified from receiving duty-free treatment under General Note 3(a)(iv).
