PREVENTION OF UNFAIR METHODS OF COMPETITION
SUBCHAPTER III--LABELING OF WOOL PRODUCTS
Sec. 68f. Exclusion of misbranded wool products
All wool products imported into the United States, except those made
more than twenty years prior to such importation, shall be stamped,
tagged, labeled, or otherwise identified in accordance with the
provisions of this subchapter and all invoices of such wool products
required under the Act of June 17, 1930 (c. 497, title IV, 46 Stat.
719), shall set forth, in addition to the matter therein specified, the
information with respect to said wool products required under the
provisions of this subchapter, which information shall be in the
invoices prior to their certification under said Act of June 17, 1930.
The falsification of, or failure to set forth, said information in
said invoices, or the falsification or perjury of the consignee's
declaration provided for in said Act of June 17, 1930, insofar as it
relates to said information, shall be an unfair method of competition,
and an unfair and deceptive act, or practice, in commerce under the
Federal Trade Commission Act; and any person who falsifies, or fails to
set forth, said information in said invoices, or who falsifies or
perjures said consignee's declaration insofar as it relates to said
information, may thenceforth be prohibited by the Commission from
importing, or participating in the importation of, any wool products
into the United States except upon filing bond with the Secretary of the
Treasury in a sum double the value of said wool products and any duty
thereon, conditioned upon compliance with the provisions of this
subchapter.
A verified statement from the manufacturer or producer of such wool
products showing their fiber content as required under the provisions of
this subchapter may be required under regulations prescribed by the
Secretary of the Treasury.
