TITLE 15--COMMERCE AND TRADE
CHAPTER 2--FEDERAL TRADE COMMISSION; PROMOTION OF EXPORT TRADE AND
PREVENTION OF UNFAIR METHODS OF COMPETITION
SUBCHAPTER V--TEXTILE FIBER PRODUCTS IDENTIFICATION
Sec. 70g. Exclusion of misbranded textile fiber products
All textile fiber products imported into the United States shall be
stamped, tagged, labeled, or otherwise identified in accordance with the
provisions of section 70b of this title, and all invoices of such
products required pursuant to section 1484 of title 19, shall set forth,
in addition to the matter therein specified, the information with
respect to said products required under the provisions of section 70b(b)
of this title, which information shall be in the invoices prior to their
certification, if such certification is required pursuant to section
1484 of title 19. The falsification of, or failure to set forth the
required information in such invoices, or the falsification or perjury
of the consignee's declaration provided for in section 1485 of title 19,
insofar as it relates to such information, is unlawful, and shall be an
unfair method of competition, and an unfair and deceptive act or
practice, in commerce under the Federal Trade Commission Act [15 U.S.C.
41 et seq.]; and any person who falsifies, or perjures the consignee's
declaration insofar as it relates to such information, may thenceforth
be prohibited by the Commission from importing, or participating in the
importation of, any textile fiber product into the United States except
upon filing bond with the Secretary of the Treasury in a sum double the
value of said products and any duty thereon, conditioned upon compliance
with the provisions of this subchapter. A verified statement from the
manufacturer or producer of such products showing their fiber content as
required under the provisions of this subchapter may be required under
regulation prescribed by the Secretary of the Treasury.
