CHAPTER 2 - FEDERAL TRADE COMMISSION; PROMOTION
OF EXPORT TRADE
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 (15 U.S.C. 41 et seq.); 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.
