INTRODUCTION

Federal labeling requirements for textile and wool products, enforced by the FTC, require that most of these products have a label listing the fiber content, country of origin and identity of the manufacturer or another business responsible for marketing or handling the item.1Fur products have label requirements as w e11. 2 Care labels for clothing are required by another rule enforced by the FTC.3

The Commission's recent amendments to the Textile Rules are effective May 5, 2014 and the recent amendments to the Wool Rules are effective July 7, 2014. Marketers now have greater flexibility in marketing their products using certain hang-tags that need not disclose the product's full fiber content.

Part of the FTC's consumer protection mission is to give businesses the information they need to comply with the rules and regulations the agency enforces. Threading Your Way includes the latest revisions to the Textile and Wool Rules. It clarifies certain points, and address amendments to the Textile and Wool https://www.ftc.gov/tips-advice/business-center/guidance/tlueading-yom-way-through-labeling-requirements-under-textile[71712018 l 0:23: 36 AM] Threa ding Your \Vay Through the Labeling Requirements Under the Textile and \Vool Acts I Federal Tra de Commission Rules and 2006 amendments to the Wool Act regarding cashmere and very fine wools.

Here are a few key changes:

Fiber names. The Rules require that labels identify manufactured fibers using the fiber's generic names. The FTC has updated section 303.7 to ease barriers to trade by permitting more internationally-recognized fiber names used in the International Organization for Standardization's 2010 standard for generic names of man-made fibers.

Hang-tag disclosures. The FTC revised sections 303.17(b), 300.8(d) and 300.24(b) to allow certain hang-tags disclosing fiber names and trademarks and non-deceptive performance information, without having to disclose the product's full fiber content on the tag. What about the possibility that information on the hang-tag could mislead consumers? Unless the hang-tag discloses the product's full fiber content or the product is entirely made of that fiber, the FTC Rules require the hang-tag to clearly and conspicuously tell potential buyers there's more to know. Possible ways to say that: "This tag does not disclose the product's full fiber content" or "See label for the product's full fiber content."

Country of origin. The Rules require labels to disclose the country where the product was processed or manufactured. The FTC amended sections 303.33(d) and (f) and 300.25(d) and (f) to clarify that the country where an imported product is processed or manufactured is the country of origin as determined under the laws and regulations enforced by Customs.

E-commerce. The Rules already address e-commerce, but the FTC has clarified them further to reflect that business paperwork often is in electronic form. Specifically, the FTC amended the definition of the terms "invoice" and "invoice or other paper" in sections 303.1 (h) and 300.1 U) to: (1) replace the word "paper" with "document"; (2) state explicitly that those documents can be issued electronically; and (3) allow for the preservation of records in forms other than paper.

Guaranties. The FTC updated the Rules' continuing guaranty provisions in sections 303.37 and 303.38 by substituting a certification for the requirement that suppliers provide a guaranty signed under penalty of perjury. This amendment to section 303.38 on continuing guaranties filed with the FTC automatically amended the Wool and Fur Rules, too, because they incorporate this provision of the Textile Rules.

FTC Enforcement Policy Statement. Due to changes in the textile industry - for example, increased imports - some businesses can't get guaranties. The FTC believes it's in the public interest to provide protections for retailers that: (1) can't legally get a guaranty under the Act; (2) don't embellish or misrepresent claims made by the manufacturer; and (3) don't market the products as private-label goods. But there's a big caveat to that: If a retailer knew or should have known the marketing or sale of an item would violate the Textile or Wool Act or Rules, those protections won't apply. That standard was explained in a January 3, 2013, FTC Enforcement Policy Statement.

Wool Act amendments. In 2006, Congress amended the Wool Act to include a definition of "cashmere" providing that fibers from the Cashmere goat must meet certain criteria to qualify as cashmere. Otherwise, the fibers must be identified as wool. Also, the Wool Act now addresses the use of "Super" and "S" numbers to describe very fine wool products. The Commission has amended the Wool Rules to incorporate these amendments to the Wool Act.

Citations to the statutes and the rules are found in the endnotes.

WHO'S COVERED AND WHO'S NOT

If you manufacture, import, sell , offer to sell, distribute or advertise products covered by the Textile and Wool Acts, you must comply with the labeling requirements. https://www.ftc.gov/tips-advice/lmsiness-center/guidance/threading-your-way-through-labeling-requirements-under-textile[7171201 8 l 0:23: 36 AM] Threading Yom Way Through the Labeling Requirements Under the Textile and Wool Acts I Federal Trade Cmmnission You are exempt if you are:

• a manufacturer or seller of textile products for export only or

• an advertising agency or publisher disseminating ads or promotional material about textile products

• Hammocks

• Dresser and other furniture scarves

The labeling requirements do not apply until the products are ready for sale to consumers. Items shipped or delivered in an intermediate stage of production and not labeled with the required information must include an invoice disclosing the fiber, country of origin, manufacturer or dealer identity, and the name and address of the person or company issuing the invoice.6 If the manufacturing or processing of the products is substantially complete, the products are considered ready for sale. Indeed, even if small details like hemming, cuffing or attaching buttons to garments are yet to be finished, the products still must be labeled. The following items are not covered by the Textile Act labeling requirements:7

Not Covered

• Upholstery or mattress stuffing that is not reused. If the stuffing is reused, the label must say so.

• Outer coverings of upholstered furniture, mattresses and box springs

• Linings, interlinings, filling or padding used for structural purposes. If used for warmth, though, the fiber must be disclosed. In addition, if you state the fiber content of linings, interlinings, filling or padding, the products are not exempt.

• Stiffenings, trimmings, facings or interfacings • Backings of carpets or rugs and pads or cushions for use under carpets, rugs or other floor coveringsB

• Sewing and handicraft threads • Bandages, surgical dressings and other products subject to the federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act9

• Waste materials not used in a textile product

• Shoes, overshoes, boots, slippers and all outer footwear. But, socks and hosiery are covered; slippers made of wool are covered under The Wool Rules.

• Headwear, including hats, caps or anything worn exclusively on the head. Wool hats are covered under The Wool Rules.

• Textiles used in handbags or luggage 10, brushes, lampshades, toys, feminine hygiene products, adhesive tapes and adhesive sheets, cleaning cloths impregnated with chemicals, or diapers

The following items are excluded from the Textile labeling requirements unless you decide to make a statement about the fiber content. If you make any representation about fiber, all the requirements for fiber content disclosure apply.11

Not Covered Unless You Say Something About Fiber

• Belts https://www.ftc.gov/tips-advice/business-center/guidance/tlueading-yom-way-through-labeling-requirements-under-textile[71712018 l 0:23: 36 AM] Threading Yom Way Through the Labeling Requirements Under the Textile and Wool Acts I Federal Trade Cmmnission • Suspenders

WOOL PRODUCTS: WHAT'S COVERED AND WHAT'S NOT Most products that contain any amount of wool - including clothing, blankets, fabrics, yarns and other items - are co vered by the Wool Act and Wool Rules. 13 While the requirements for wool products overlap those for other textiles, there are differences.

• A wool product is any product or portion of a product that contains - or is represented to contain - wool, including recycled wool.

o Note: Products exempt from the Textile Act and Rules, like hats and slippers, are covered by the Wool Act and Rules if they contain any wool.

• Recycled wool is wool that has been returned to a fibrous state after having been woven, knitted or felted into a wool product, regardless of whether a consumer has ever used the product.

Products not covered even if they contain wool

• Carpets, rugs or mats, which are covered by the Textile Act and Rules

• Upholsteries https://www.ftc.gov/tips-advice/business-center/guidance/tlueading-yom-way-through-labeling-requirements-under-textile[71712018 l 0:23: 36 AM] Threading Yom Way Through the Labeling Requirements Under the Textile and Wool Acts I Federal Trade Cmmnission • Wool products made for export

FIBER CONTENT

If your product is covered by the Textile or Wool Act and Rules, it must be labeled to show the fiber content. For products covered by the Textile Act and Rules , the generic fiber names and percentages by weight of each constituent fiber must be listed in descending order of predominance. 14 For example:

65% rayon 35% polyester

If the product is made from one fiber, you may use the word "All" instead of "100%." For example: "100% Wool" or "All Wool."

The disclosure requirement applies only to fibers in yarns, fabrics, clothing and other household items. If part of the product is made from a non-fibrous material - such as plastic, glass, wood , paint, metal or leather - you don't have to include that on your label. That includes the contents of zippers, buttons, beads, sequins, leather patches, painted designs, or any other parts that are not made from fiber, yarn, or fabric.

In general, you may name only the fibers that comprise 5% or more of the fiber weight. Fibers of less than 5% should be disclosed as "other fiber" or "other fibers" and not by their generic name or fiber trademark.15

Exceptions to the 5% rule: 1. You must disclose wool or recycled wool by name and percentage weight, even if it is less than 5% of the product.

2. You may state the name and percentage of a fiber that is less than 5% of the product, if the fiber has a definite functional significance at that amount. For example, if a small amount of spandex is used for elasticity, the label could say:

96% Acetate 4% Spandex

If nylon is added to a wool garment for durability, the label could say:

96% Wool 4% Nylon

You don't have to disclose the functional significance, as long as there is one.

If there are multiple, non-functionally-significant fibers present in amounts of less than 5% each, designate their aggregate percentage, even if it's greater than 5%. For example:

https://www.ftc.gov/tips-advice/business-center/guidance/tlueading-yom-way-through-labeling-requirements-under-textile[71712018 l 0:23: 36 AM] Threading Yom Way Through the Labeling Requirements Under the Textile and Wool Acts I Federal Trade Cmmnission 82% Cotton 90% Cotton 10% Polyamide 4% Polyamide 8% Other Fibers 6% Other Fibers

Exceptions to the fiber disclosure requirement Some parts of a textile or wool product don't have to be counted for labeling purposes even if they are made of a fibrous material. These include trim , linings (unless used for warmth), small amounts of ornamentation and the threads that hold the garment together, although the label may need to disclose that the stated fiber content is exclusive of decoration or ornamentation.

Trimmings Various forms of trim incorporated into clothing and other textiles are excluded from the labeling requirements.16 Trim includes collars, cuffs, braiding, waist or wrist bands, rick-rack, tape, belting, binding, labels, leg bands, gussets, gores, welts, findings and superimposed hosiery garters.

Findings include:

• elastic materials and threads added to a garment in minor proportion for structural purposes; and

• elastic material that is part of the basic fabric from which a product is made, if the elastic doesn't exceed 20% of the surface area. In this case, the required fiber content information should be followed by the statement "exclusive of elastic."

Other trimmings exempt from labeling requirements are:

• decorative trim applied by embroidery, overlay, applique or attachment

• decorative patterns or designs that are an integral part of the fabric

as long as the decoration does not exceed 15% of the surface area of the item. If no representation is made about the fiber content of the decoration, the fiber content disclosure should be followed by the statement "exclusive of decoration."

Note: Collars and cuffs, whether decorated or not, are exempt from fiber content disclosure, so any decoration on collars and cuffs does not count toward the 15%.

If decorative trim or designs exceed 15% of the surface area of the product and are made of a different fiber from the base fabric, the fiber of the decoration must be disclosed on the label as a sectional disclosure. If the decorative trim does not exceed 15%, but information about its content is referenced somewhere, the fiber of the decoration also must appear on the label.

Example 1: You are selling a cotton T-shirt with decorative silk trim piping and embroidery that covers 10% of the shirt. No other information about the fiber of the decoration has been given. The label may sa y:

100% Cotton All Cotton or exclusive of exclusive of decoration decoration

The label must disclose the trim content. For example:

Body - 100% Cotton Decoration - 100% Silk

Example 3: You are selling a cotton T-shirt with decorative silk trim piping and embroidery that covers 20% of the shirt. The label must disclose the content of both the body of the shirt and the trim. For example:

Body - 100% Cotton Decoration - 100% Silk

Ornamentation "Ornamentation" refers to "any fibers or yarns imparting a visibly discernible pattern or design to a yarn or fabric." 17 Ornamentation is exempt from fiber content disclosure when it does not exceed 5% of the product's fiber weight. 18 You would disclose the other fibers in the product without regard to the ornamentation and include the statement: "Exclusive of Ornamentation." For example:

60% Cotton 40% Rayon Exclusive of Ornamentation

You may identify the ornamental fiber if you also list the percentage of the ornamentation in relation to the total fiber weight of the principal fiber or blend of fibers. In this case, the numbers will add up to more than 100%. For example:

70% Nylon 100% Rayon 30% Acetate or Exclusive of 3% Silk Exclusive of 4% Metallic Ornamentation Ornamentation

If the ornamentation exceeds 5% of the fiber weight, you must disclose its fiber as a separate section. For example:

Body: 100% Viscose Ornamentation: 100% Silk

There is some overlap between the definitions of "ornamentation" and "trimmings." If the ornamentation, decorative trim or decorative pattern or design https://www.ftc.gov/tips-advice/lmsiness-center/guidance/threading-your-way-through-labeling-requirements-under-textile[7171201 8 l 0:23 :36 AM] Threading Your \Vay Through the Labeling Requirements Under the Textile and \Vool Acts I Federal Tra de Commission exceeds 15% of the surface area of the product, and 5% of the fiber weight of the fabric, you must disclose its fiber content.

If it is either less than 15% of the surface area , or less than 5% of the fiber weight, you don't have to disclose its content if the label says "exclusive of decoration" or "exclusive of ornamentation."

If the component of the product falls under both definitions, the label can make either disclosure.

Linings and interlinings19 If linings, interlinings, fillings or paddings are used only for structural purposes, there's no requirement to disclose their fiber. However, if you voluntarily say or imply anything about their fiber content, the requirements of the statutes and rules apply.

If linings, interlinings, fillings or paddings - including metallic-coated textile linings and linings or fillings that contain any amount of wool - are incorporated for warmth, their fiber must be disclosed as a sectional disclosure. For example:

Covering: 100% Shell: 100% Nylon or Rayon Lining: 100% Polyester Filling: 100% Cotton

Even if the outer fabric and the lining or interlining are made of the same material, disclose the fiber content separately.

Shell: 100% Polyester Interlining: 100% Polyester

If the lining , interlining, filling or padding is the only textile portion of the product (with the outer part made of a non-textile material like rubber, vinyl, fur or leather), the fiber content of the lining, interlining, filling or padding must be disclosed if it is incorporated into the product for warmth.

Sectional disclosure of fiber content If a product has separate sections with different fiber compositions, the content of each section should be identified separately on the label. 20 Where ornamentation or trim forms a distinct section of the product, and is present in a quantity that doesn't exempt it from fiber disclosure, disclose the fiber in a separate section. Examples of sectional disclosure:

Red: 100% Nylon Body: 100% Cotton Blue: 100% Polyester or Sleeves: 80% Green: 80% Cotton, 20% Cotton, 20% Nylon Polyester Ornamentation: 100% Silk

https://www.ftc.gov/tips-advice/lmsiness-center/guidance/threading-your-way-through-labeling-requirements-under-textile[7171201 8 l 0:23 :36 AM] Threa ding Your \Vay Through the Labeling Requirements Under the Textile and \Vool Acts I Federal Tra de Commission Sectional disclosure is required if necessary to avoid deception. As a general practice, where garments or other products are divided into distinct sections made of different fibers, use sectional disclosure so the information is clear to consumers.

Note on elastics: The fiber content of a product that is part elastic material and part other fabric must be disclosed by section. 21 The fiber content of the non-elastic section should be disclosed in the usual way. The elastic section should be described as "elastic," followed by a list of the fibers in the elastic, in order of predominance by weight. For example:

Front and back non-elastic sections: 50% Acetate 47% Cotton 3% Other fiber Elastic: rayon, cotton, nylon, rubber, other fiber

If the elastic material does not exceed 20% of the product's surface area, it falls under the trim exemption. In that case, the label would disclose the content of the base fabric, followed by the phrase: "exclusive of elastic.

Note on superimposed fibers: If a fiber is added to a section of a product (like the heel or toe of a sock) for reinforcement or other purposes, the label may state the content of the base fabric (in numbers that total 100% ), followed by the word "except" and the name of the superimposed fiber, its weight relative to the base fiber(s) and where it was added. For example:

55% Cotton 45% Ra yon Except 5% Nylon added to heel & toe

Pile fabrics22 Fiber content labeling for pile fabrics may be handled in two ways. You may state the fiber content for the product as a whole, or disclose the fiber content of the pile and backing separately. If you disclose the pile and backing separately, give the ratio between the two as percentages of the fiber weight of the whole. For example:

100% Nylon Pile 100% Cotton Back (Back is 60% of fabric and pile 40%)

Fiber names23 Both natural and man-made fibers must be identified by their generic names. The FTC recognizes certain names that must be used to identify man-made fibers as well as recognizes the names listed in International Organization for Standardization (ISO) Standard 2076: 2010(E), "Textiles - Man-made fibres - Generic names." While many of the names listed in the ISO standard don't appear in the Commission's Rules, you may use them on labels to satisfy the https://www.ftc .gov/tips-advice/lmsiness-center/guidance/threading-your-way-through-labeling-requirements-under-textile[71712018 l 0:23: 36 AM] Threading Yom Way Through the Labeling Requirements Under the Textile and Wool Acts I Federal Trade Cmmnission fiber identification requirement. To order a copy of the ISO standard, contact:

American National Standards Institute@ 25 West 43rd St., 4th floor New York, NY 10036

A few common fibers recognized by the Commission have different names in the ISO standard. For example, the ISO standard uses the name viscose for the predominant form of rayon , and elastane for spandex. You may use either name.

When a manufacturer develops a new fiber, the name may not be used on labels until it is recognized by the Commission. The manufacturer may seek recognition by the ISO or petition the Commission. 24 However, the Commission can more easily recognize the name - and forgo the petition process - if the name is recognized first by the ISO.

Biconstituent or multiconstituent fibers: If a manufactured fiber is a mixture of two or more chemically distinct fibers combined during or before extrusion, the content disclosure should state:

• whether it is a biconstituent or multiconstituent fiber;

• the generic names of the component fibers, in order of predominance by weight; and

• the percentage of each component by weight

For example:

100% Biconstituent Fiber (65% Nylon, 35% Polyester)

Premium cotton fibers - Pima, Egyptian, Sea Island, etc. The fiber disclosure may include the name of a type of cotton, as long the name is truthful and not deceptive. You can label a shirt "100% Pima Cotton" as long as the garment contains 100% Pima cotton fibers.

If 50% of the cotton in the shirt is Pima , and you want to use the term "Pima" on your label or elsewhere, you must indicate that Pima constitutes 50% of the fiber content. For example, your label could say: "100% Cotton (50% Pima)," or "50% Pima Cotton, 50% Upland Cotton," or "50% Pima Cotton , 50% Other Cotton. " The label must show that it is 100% cotton and , if you use the word "Pima, " that only 50% of the cotton fibers are Pima. Saying "100% Cotton, Pima Blend ," without disclosing the Pima content is unacceptable.

If you refer to "Pima" on a hang-tag and the item contains fibers other than "Pima ," you don't need to repeat the fiber content information on the hang-tag if the tag tells the consumer to see the label for the item's full fiber content. This includes use of a trademark that implies the presence of Pima cotton. If the item contains only one type of fiber, the hang-tag doesn't need to include this disclosure.

For more information, see Calling It Cotton: Labeling and Advertising Cotton Products.

Wool fiber names https://www.ftc.gov/tips-advice/business-center/guidance/tlueading-yom-way-through-labeling-requirements-under-textile[71712018 l 0:23: 36 AM] Threa ding Your \Vay Through the Labeling Requirements Under the Textile and \Vool Acts I Federal Tra de Commission You may use the term wool for fiber made from the fleece of the sheep or lamb, and the hair of the Angora goat, Cashmere goat, camel , alpaca, llama, or vicuna. 25 Reclaimed or recycled wool fibers must be identified as recycled wool. 26

Specialty wool fibers 27 Specialty fibers may be called wool or identified by their specialty fiber names: mohair, cashmere, camel, alpaca, llama, vicuna.

Not all fibers from the Cashmere goat are considered cashmere under the Wool Act and Rules. The term "cashmere" can be used to identify fiber content only if:

1. the fiber consists of the fine (dehaired) undercoat fibers produced by a Cashmere goat (capra hircus laniger); 2. the average diameter of such cashmere fiber does not exceed 19 microns; and

3. the cashmere fibers in such wool product contain no more than 3% (by weight) of cashmere fibers with average diameters that exceed 30 microns.

The average fiber diameter may be subject to a coefficient of variation around the mean that shall not exceed 24%. If fibers from a Cashmere goat do not meet this definition, the label should identify them as wool rather than cashmere.

If you use the name of a specialty fiber, the percentage of that fiber must appear on the label. In addition, any recycled specialty fiber must be identified as "recycled." For example:

50% Recycled Camel 55% Alpaca 35% Recycled Llama Hair 45% Camel Hair 35% Recycled Vicuna 50% Wool 30% Cotton

If you use specialty fiber names, they must appear on the required fiber content label and in any other references to the fibers. If the required label simply states wool, you can 't use a specialty fiber name in other non-required information - like a hang-tag - that may appear on the product. For example, if the label says: 100% Wool, "Fine Cashmere Garment" can't appear on the required label or any other label or tag. If the garment has a small amount of cashmere, and you draw attention to that fact in some way, cashmere should be listed on the label with the actual percentage. For example:

97% Wool 3% Cashmere

As with other fiber content disclosures, all parts of the fiber information must be in type of equal size and conspicuousness. References to the specialty fiber can't be misleading or deceptive. For example, if a jacket has a label disclosing that it contains 3% cashmere, it would be misleading to attach another label to the sleeve stating "FINE CASHMERE BLEND," unless the sleeve label repeats the full fiber disclosure with percentages by weight.

The Commission has amended the Wool Rules to allow certain hang-tags identifying fibers without disclosing the item's full fiber content, if the item has a label that provides the required fiber content information and the hang-tag tells the consumer to see the label for the item's full fiber content. This disclosure would not be required if the item consists of only one type of fiber.

Very Fine Wool Fibers https://www.ftc.gov/tips-advice/lmsiness-center/guidance/threading-your-way-through-labeling-requirements-under-textile[7171201 8 l 0:23: 36 AM] Threading Your \Vay Through the Labeling Requirements Under the Textile and \Vool Acts I Federal Tra de Commission The Wool Act and Rules allow labels for wool products to identify fine wool fibers by using terms like "Super 80's" or "80's. " However, wool fibers cannot be identified using these terms unless the wool meets the following definitions:

(a) "Super 80's" or "80's" --- the average diameter of wool fiber averages 19.75 microns or finer;

(b) "Super 90's" or "90's" --- the average diameter of wool fiber averages 19.25 microns or finer;

(d) "Super 11 O's" or "11 O's" --- the average diameter of wool fiber averages 18.25 microns or finer;

(e) "Super 120's" or "120's" --- the average diameter of wool fiber averages 17 .75 microns or finer;

(f) "Super 130's" or "130's" --- the average diameter of wool fiber averages 17.25 microns or finer;

(g) "Super 140's" or "140's" --- the average diameter of wool fiber averages 16.75 microns or finer;

(h) "Super 150's" or "150's" --- the average diameter of wool fiber averages 16.25 microns or finer;

(i) "Super 160's" or "160's" --- the average diameter of wool fiber averages 15.75 microns or finer;

U) "Super 170's" or "170's" --- the average diameter of wool fiber averages 15.25 microns or finer;

(k) "Super 180's" or "180's" --- the average diameter of wool fiber averages 14. 75 microns or finer;

(I) "Super 190's" or "190's" --- the average diameter of wool fiber averages 14.25 microns or finer;

(m) "Super 200's" or "200's" --- the average diameter of wool fiber averages 13.75 microns or finer;

(n) "Super 21 O's" or "21 O's" --- the average diameter of wool fiber averages 13.25 microns or finer;

(o) "Super 220's" or "220's" --- the average diameter of wool fiber averages 12.75 microns or finer;

(p) "Super 230's" or "230's" --- the average diameter of wool fiber averages 12.25 microns or finer;

(q) "Super 240's" or "240's" --- the average diameter of wool fiber averages 11.75 microns or finer; and

(r) "Super 250's" or "250's" --- the average diameter of wool fiber averages 11.25 microns or finer.

The Act and Rules permit the use of the above terms to describe wool in products that consist entirely of wool as well as wool blends. Marketers may average the diameter of warp and filling yarns to determine overall fineness.

If using a "Super" or "S" number to describe a product falsely implies that the product contains wool, using the "Super" or "S" numbers on the label would violate the Wool Act and Rules. Non-required information on labels, including "Super" or "S" numbers, must not minimize, detract from or conflict with required information and must not be false, deceptive or misleading.

Other hair or fur fibers https://www.ftc.gov/tips-advice/lmsiness-center/guidance/threading-your-way-through-labeling-requirements-under-textile[7171201 8 l 0:23 :36 AM] Threading Your \Vay Through the Labeling Requirements Under the Textile and \Vool Acts I Federal Tra de Commission The term "fur fiber" may be used to describe the hair or fur fiber - or mixtures thereof - of any animals other than the sheep, lamb, Angora goat, Cashmere goat, camel, alpaca, llama and vicuna. You may use the name of the animal if its hair or fur fiber comprises more than 5% of the fiber weight. For example, 60% Wool , 30% Fur Fiber, 10% Angora Rabbit Hair.

The hair or fiber of new varieties of cross-bred animals, like Cashgora hair or Paco-Vicuna hair, can be disclosed this way, too. For example:

60% Wool 40% Cashgora Hair

Note: If a hair or fur fiber is attached to the animal skin, it is covered by the Fur Rules.

Fiber trademarks On labels28 You may use a fiber trademark on a content label as long as it appears next to the generic fiber name. The type or lettering of the trademark name and the generic name must be equally conspicuous and of the same size.

When a fiber trademark appears on any label, make a complete fiber content disclosure the first time the trademark is used. For example:

80% Cotton 20% Lycra® Spandex

If the trademark doesn't appear in the fiber content disclosure but appears elsewhere on the label, the generic name of the fiber must appear together with the trademark the first time the trademark is used. For example:

80% Cotton 20% Spandex Made in the USA Lycra® Spandex Lycra® for Fit

Fiber trademarks or generic names that appear on non-required labels or tags must not be false, deceptive or misleading. For example, a fiber trademark must not be used to indicate or imply that a product is made completely of a certain fiber if it isn't.

If an item covered by the Textile Act and Rules or the Wool Act and Rules has a label providing the required fiber content statement, you may attach a hang tag that identifies and describes one or more fibers without including the fiber content statement as long as the hang-tag makes clear that it doesn't provide the item's full fiber content. The hang-tag must include a disclosure like "This tag does not disclose the product's full fiber content" or "See label for the product's full fiber content." https://www.ftc.gov/tips-advice/lmsiness-center/guidance/threading-your-way-through-labeling-requirements-under-textile[7171201 8 l 0:23 :36 AM] Threading Your \Vay Through the Labeling Requirements Under the Textile and \Vool Acts I Federal Tra de Commission The disclosure must be clear and conspicuous. If the fiber's generic name, trade name or trademark is identified on the front of the hang-tag, the disclosure also should be on the front of the hang-tag close to the first statement of the fiber's generic name, trade name or trademark. The disclosure should be legible and in a type size no smaller than the type size used to identify the fiber's generic name, trade name or trademark.

If the front of the hang-tag doesn't mention the fiber generic name, trade name or trademark, the disclosure may appear on the back of the hang-tag. But this disclosure is not required if the hang-tag identifies the only fiber in the item. The information on the hang-tag must not be false or deceptive as to fiber content.

In advertising29 If you use a fiber trademark in your advertising, including in your ads on the internet, you must disclose the fiber content at least once in your ad. Note that you don't have to include the percentages.

However, if the advertised product contains more than one fiber - other than ornamentation - your disclosure of the content must include the fiber trademark and generic name of the fiber immediately next to each other in lettering of equal size and conspicuousness.

If the advertised product contains only one fiber - other than ornamentation - the fiber trademark and generic name of the fiber must appear immediately next to each other at least once in the ad in lettering that is clearly legible and conspicuous. You can't use an asterisk to signal the generic name of the fiber in a footnote or elsewhere in the ad.

Fiber trademarks used elsewhere in ads must not give a false, deceptive, or misleading message about content; for example, they may not imply that the product is made completely of a certain fiber when it isn't.

Products containing unknown fibers30 If a textile product is made in whole or partly from scraps, clippings, rags, secondhand fibers or fabrics, or other textile waste materials of unknown and, for practical purposes, fiber content that can't be determined, the disclosure may indicate that information.

For example:

Made of clippings of unknown fiber content 100% unknown fibers - rags All undetermined fibers - textile by-products 100% miscellaneous pieces of undetermined fiber content Secondhand materials - fiber content unknown 45% Rayon 30% Acetate 25% Unknown fiber content 75% Recycled Wool 25% Unknown Reclaimed Fibers 60% Cotton 40% Unknown fibers - scraps

Sale of remnants and products made of remnants31 Remnants for sale in a retail store don't have to be labeled individually if a display sign states they are "remnants of unknown fiber content and origin." Similarly, remnants of known fiber don't have to be labeled individually if a sign indicates the content. For example: "remnants, 100% cotton," "remnants, 50% rayon, 50% acetate."

The label for a finished product made of remnants of undetermined content would read: "Made of remnants of undetermined fiber content and origin," or an equivalent statement.

Marking of fabric samples or swatches32 If fabric samples or swatches are used to promote the sale of textile products, the samples or swatches must be labeled with all the required information unless they are:

• less than two square inches (12.9 cm2), and the required information is disclosed in accompanying promotional material;

• keyed to a catalog that discloses the required information; or

• not being used to sell to consumers, are not in a form for use by consumers, and the invoice discloses the required information.

Tolerances for fiber content Textile products33 There is a 3% tolerance for fiber content claims on labels. For example, if the label indicates that a product contains 40% cotton, the actual amount of cotton present may vary from 37% to 43% of the total fiber weight. That doesn't mean you can knowingly misrepresent fiber amounts. If you know the product contains 37% cotton , the label should say "37% cotton." The tolerance allows for a small amount of unintended inconsistency in the manufacturing process. A deviation of more than 3% constitutes mislabeling, unless the company can prove it resulted from unavoidable variations in manufacturing, despite the exercise of due care.

Note: Fiber percentages may be rounded to the nearest whole number. For example, 60.4% Polyester, 39.6% Cotton can be labeled 60% Polyester, 40% Cotton.

No tolerance is allowed if the label states that a product contains one fiber, exclusive of allowed amounts of ornamentation or decorative trim. 34 For example, if a blouse contains 97% silk and 3% polyester, you cannot label it "100% silk" based on the 3% tolerance. The 3% polyester was intentionally added to the fabric, so labeling the blouse "100% silk" would be intentional mislabeling.

Wool products The Wool Act and Rules don't provide any tolerance for the content of wool products. However, the Wool Act states that variations from stated fiber content won't be considered mislabeling if the "deviation resulted from unavoidable variations in manufacture and despite the exercise of due care to make accurate the statements" on the label.35 For practical purposes, the Commission will apply the 3% tolerance allowed for other textile products to wool products. The tolerance will not apply if the label indicates that the product is entirely wool, for example, 100% Wool, 100% Cashmere, All Wool , or All Cashmere.

COUNTRY OF ORIGIN36 https://www.ftc.gov/tips-advice/business-center/guidance/tlueading-yom-way-through-labeling-requirements-under-textile[71712018 l 0:23: 36 AM] Threading Yom Way Through the Labeling Requirements Under the Textile and Wool Acts I Federal Trade Cmmnission Products covered by the Textile and Wool Acts must be labeled to show the country of origin.

• Imported products must identify the country where the products were processed or manufactured.

• Products made entirely in the U.S. of materials also made in the U.S. must be labeled "Made in U.S.A. " or an equivalent phrase.

• Products made in the U.S. of imported materials must be labeled to show the processing or manufacturing that takes place in the U.S. , as well as the imported component.

• Products manufactured partly in the U.S. and partly abroad must identify both aspects.

Note on FTC Rules and Customs Regulations: U.S. Customs and Border Protection has country of origin labeling requirements separate from those in the Textile and Wool Acts and Rules. For example, FTC Rules do not require labeling until a textile product is in its finished state for sale to the consumer. Textile products imported in an intermediate stage may be accompanied by an invoice with the required information in place of being labeled. However, Customs may require that an unfinished product be marked with the country of origin. Manufacturers and importers must comply with both FTC and Customs requirements.

Imported products made entirely abroad A textile product made entirely abroad must be labeled with the name of the country where it was processed or manufactured. Importers and other marketers should check Customs regulations to determine the appropriate country of origin for products made entirely abroad. The determination depends on the type of product and the country or countries where processing or manufacturing occurs. The Textile and Wool Acts don't define the terms "processing" and "manufacturing." The terms refer to the steps in the production process relevant to determining an imported product's country of origin. The Textile and Wool Acts require disclosure of the country where an imported product was processed or manufactured. So it is not sufficient to disclose that a product was made in the European Union, for example, instead of the specific country where it was made.

Unqualified "Made in U.S.A." labels A label may say, "Made in U.S.A." only if the product is made completely in the U.S. of materials that were made in the U.S. If a U.S. manufacturer uses imported greige goods that are dyed, printed and finished in the U.S. , for example, they may not be labeled "Made in U.S.A." without qualification.

Note: In determining a product's country of origin, you don't have to consider the origin of parts of the product exempt from content disclosure, like such as zippers or buttons.

Products made in the U.S.A. with imported materials The label must indicate that the product contains imported materials. The label may identify the country of origin of the imported materials, but it doesn't have to. It can say, "Made in U.S.A. of imported fabric" or "Knitted in U.S.A. of imported yarn." This disclosure must appear as a single statement, without separating the "Made in U.S.A." and "imported" references.

Manufacturers should be aware that for certain products - including sheets, towels, comforters, handkerchiefs, scarves, napkins and other "flat" goods - Customs requires identification of the country where the fabric was made.37 To comply with Customs and FTC requirements for this group of products, the label must identify both the U.S. and the country of origin of the fabric. For example: "Made in U.S.A. of fabric made in China" or "Fabric made in China, cut and sewn in U.S.A."

Identification of processing or manufacturing that takes place in the U.S. and abroad If processing or manufacturing takes place in the U.S. and another country, the label must identify both. For example: https://www.ftc.gov/tips-advice/business-center/guidance/tlueading-yom-way-through-labeling-requirements-under-textile[71712018 l 0:23: 36 AM] Threading Yom Way Through the Labeling Requirements Under the Textile and Wool Acts I Federal Trade Cmmnission

Comforter filled, Assembled in U.S.A. Made in Sri Lanka , sewn and finished in U.S.A. of imported components finished in U.S.A. with shell made in Malaysia

Note: There are special requirements for the placement of country of origin information.

Country names The name of the country of origin must appear in English. Abbreviations like U.S.A. or Gt. Britain and other spellings close to the English version - ltalie for Italy, or Brasil for Brazil - may be used if they clearly identify the country. Adjective forms of country names are permitted - for example, "Chinese Silk" - but not if using the adjective form of a country name is deceptive to refer to a type of product. For example, using "Spanish lace" when the lace is Spanish in style, but not made in Spain is deceptive. Using the abbreviations "CAN" and "MEX" for "Canada" and "Mexico" is acceptable under FTC Rules, but may not be under Customs requirements.

You don't have to use the phrases "made in" or "product of' with the name of the country of origin unless it is necessary to avoid confusion or deception. You can place a symbol like a flag next to the name of a country to show the item is a product of that country. If more than one country is named on the label, phrases or words describing the specific processing in each country usually are necessary to convey the required information to the consumer.

One step removed rule In deciding whether to mark a product as made in the U.S. either in whole or in part, a manufacturer also must consider the origin of materials that are one step removed from the particular manufacturing process. For example, a yarn manufacturer must identify imported fiber. A manufacturer of knitted garments must identify imported yarn. A manufacturer of apparel made from cloth must identify imported fabric.

Country of origin in mail order advertising38 You must disclose country of origin information in mail order or internet advertising, such as catalogs, including that disseminated on the internet. Product descriptions in these ads must include a statement that the product was made in the U.S.A., imported or both.

• Use "Made in U.S.A. and Imported" to indicate manufacture in the U.S. from imported materials, or part processing in the U.S. and part in a foreign country.

• Use "Made in U.S.A. or Imported" to reflect that some units of an item originate from a domestic source and others from a foreign source.

• Use "Made in U.S.A." only if all units were made completely in the U.S. of materials also made in the U.S.

Of course, the description must be consistent with the origin labeling on the advertised product.

IDENTIFICATION OF MANUFACTURER, IMPORTER OR OTHER DEALER39

Textile labels must identify fiber content, country of origin and either the company name or the Registered Identification Number (RN) of the manufacturer, importer or another firm marketing, distributing or otherwise handling the product. An RN is issued and registered by the FTC and may be issued to any firm https://www.ftc.gov/tips-advice/business-center/guidance/tlueading-yom-way-through-labeling-requirements-under-textile[71712018 l 0:23: 36 AM] Threading Yom Way Through the Labeling Requirements Under the Textile and Wool Acts I Federal Trade Cmmnission in the U.S. that manufactures, imports, markets, distributes or otherwise handles textile, wool or fur products. RNs are not issued to businesses outside of the U.S. You may use an RN instead of a name to satisfy the labeling requirement.

Note: An RN is not required in order to do business in the U.S.

If you use a company name The name must be the full name under which the company does business, that is, the name that appears on business documents like purchase orders and invoices. It can 't be a trademark, trade name, brand, label or designer name, unless that's the name under which the company does business.

Imported Products: If the product is imported, the label can identify any of the following:

• the name of the foreign manufacturer or distributor

• the name or RN of the importer

• the name or RN of the wholesaler

• the name or RN of the ultimate retailer - if the retailer has consented

Caution: If the textiles are labeled with the name or RN of the retailer, but the intended retailer doesn't receive the goods and they are sold to someone else, the retailer's name or RN must be removed or obliterated, and the products relabeled with the RN or name of the company that is in the actual line of distribution.

If you use a Registered Identification Number (RN) A company may use a single RN for labeling products under the Textile, Wool , and/or Fur Acts. Only one number is assigned to a company. The Commission isn 't issuing Wool Products Labeling (WPL) numbers for wool products any more, but numbers may still be used by companies that hold them. RNs and WPLs are not transferable or assignable.

The prefix "RN" or "WPL" is part of the Registered Identification Number and must precede the numerals on the label.

You don't need to get or use an RN to do business; the RN is another way to identify your company on labels instead of using your company's full name. However, there are several benefits to using an RN:

• it lets buyers easily identify and find you through the RN directory or the RN look-up service

• it often uses less space on the label than the company name

• it facilitates record-keeping and helps you keep track of who's who in the textile trade

You may find that some companies require you to have an RN in order to do business with them.

How to get an RN You can apply for an RN online. https://www.ftc.gov/tips-advice/business-center/guidance/tlueading-yom-way-through-labeling-requirements-under-textile[71712018 l 0:23: 36 AM] Threading Yom Way Through the Labeling Requirements Under the Textile and Wool Acts I Federal Trade Cmmnission

How to identify the company holding a particular RN Check the RN database.

How to update RN information The FTC urges companies that use an RN to check the information given for their number and notify the Commission of any changes.

Note: The FTC may cancel your RN if you don't keep your RN information current or if you obtain or use your RN improperly.

Replacing another company's label with your own40 An importer, distributor, or retailer may want to replace the original label on a textile product with a label showing its company or RN. This is legal as long as the new label lists the name or RN of the person or company making the change.

Note: If you remove a label that has required information, the label you substitute also must have the required information. Otherwise, you're violating the Textile Act.

SPECIAL CAUTION TO RETAILERS:

Under the Textile Act, it is illegal for retailers to remove labels with required information from the garments they offer for sale without replacing them. If a retailer removes any label with required information, it must substitute another label with its own name or RN and the other required information that appeared on the original label. In addition, if you substitute a label, you are required to keep records for three years that show the information on the removed label and the company from which the product was received.

MECHANICS OF LABELING41

Amendments to the Textile and Wool Acts simplified and streamlined the requirements for disclosing the necessary information:

• The three required disclosures may appear on one label or on separate labels. They may appear on a label with other information, such as the care instructions. In fact, consumers and professional cleaners find it helpful to see the fiber content on the same label with the care instructions.

• All parts of the required information must be clearly legible, conspicuous and readily accessible to the consumer.

• All parts of the fiber content information must be in type or lettering of equal size and conspicuousness. For example, your label cannot say:

80% polyester 20% SILK

• All parts of the required fiber content information must appear in immediate proximity to each other.

• You can use other non-deceptive terms that accurately describe the fiber. For example:

100% crosslinked or 100% Egyptian https://www.ftc.gov/tips-advice/business-center/guidance/tlueading-yom-way-through-labeling-requirements-under-textile[71712018 l 0:23: 36 AM] Threading Yom Way Through the Labeling Requirements Under the Textile and Wool Acts I Federal Trade Cmmnission rayon Cotton

• Other non-required information may appear on the label with the required disclosures. Additional information cannot be deceptive or misleading and cannot minimize, detract from or conflict with the required information.

• The country of origin must be on the front of the label. Fiber content and the identity of the manufacturer or dealer may appear on the back of a label. In that case, the label must be attached to the product only at one end so the reverse side is accessible.

Note: The phrase "Fiber Content on Reverse Side" is not required.

• Disclosures must be in English. They also can be in other languages, as long as the English version is included.

Exception: The English language requirement does not apply to disclosures in advertisements in foreign language newspapers or periodicals. The words of required disclosures cannot be abbreviated, designated by ditto marks, or placed in footnotes.

Abbreviations of certain country names are excepted as well.

Examples of Correct Labels

Elegantlines TM 100% Size 10 silk Made in USA dry clean of imported only fabric RN00001

Label placement and attachment • Label(s) with required information must be securely attached to the product until it is delivered to the consumer, but they don't need to be permanently https://www.ftc.gov/tips-advice/business-center/guidance/tlueading-yom-way-through-labeling-requirements-under-textile[71712018 l 0:23: 36 AM] Threading Yom Way Through the Labeling Requirements Under the Textile and Wool Acts I Federal Trade Cmmnission attached. Note: Many consumers and professional cleaners consider it important to have fiber information on a permanent label. Garments must have care instructions on a permanent label, so it may be useful to have fiber and care information on the same label.

Note: Customs may require that the country of origin of imported goods be on a sewn-in label.

• When a garment has a neck, you must attach a label that discloses the country of origin on its front to the inside center of the neck. Attach the label either midway between the shoulder seams or close to another label attached to the inside center of the neck. The fiber content and manufacturer or dealer identity can appear on the front or back of the same label, or on another conspicuous and accessible label(s) on the inside or outside of the garment.

Example: In a jacket or blazer, the country of origin must always be disclosed on a label at or near the inside center of the neck. The fiber content and manufacturer or dealer could be disclosed on another label attached to a side seam. However, the fiber and manufacturer or dealer information should not be on a label attached to the inside of the elbow because it wouldn't be conspicuous and readily accessible.

• The required information must appear on a conspicuous and readily accessible label(s) on the inside or outside of other kinds of textile products.

Example: In a skirt or pair of slacks, a location on the inside of the waistband is conspicuous and accessible. The inside of a pocket or pant leg isn't conspicuous or accessible.

Example: In a pillowcase, a location on the inside close to the open end is conspicuous and accessible. A location on the inside of the closed end isn't.

• The country of origin label should not be covered or obscured by any other label.

Special exception for hosiery sold in packages42 Packaged hosiery products don't need a label on each piece of hosiery in the package, if the package label lists all the required information and the information on the package applies to all products in the package.

Special requirements for socks Most socks43 must be marked on the front of their packages or labels with the English name of the country of origin. This mark must be placed adjacent to the size designation. The mark must be clearly legible, indelible, conspicuous, and readily accessible to the consumer and as permanent as the nature of the article or package permits.

Exception: A package that contains several different types of goods and includes socks is exempt from this special requirement. However, these packages and their contents are subject to the following labeling requirements.

Other products sold in packages44 For packaged products like T-shirts, the required information must be on each item in the package and on the package. But, if the package is transparent and consumers can read the required information on the labels without opening the package, the package doesn't need to be labeled.

Note: The provision that required information appear on packages doesn't apply to items packaged solely for mail order shipment.

Products with two or more items of the same fiber4 5 If garments or other textile products with the same fiber content are sold in pairs - like socks, mittens or gloves, or in sets like a suit or a set of dinner https://www.ftc.gov/tips-advice/business-center/guidance/tlueading-yom-way-through-labeling-requirements-under-textile[71712018 l 0:23: 36 AM] Threading Your \Vay Through the Labeling Requirements Under the Textile and \Vool Acts I Federal Tra de Commission napkins - only one part of the pair or set needs to be labeled.

Products with two or more items of different fibers46 If textile products are sold as a set, like a tablecloth and napkins, the required information may appear on a single label even if the fiber content is not the same for all parts of the set. The label must separately identify the fiber content of the components.

Tablecloth: 100% cotton Napkins: 50% cotton , 50% polyester

The items must be labeled separately if they aren't al ways sold as a set.

Bolts of cloth Fabric cut from bolts or rolls in stores doesn't need a label if the bolt or roll is labeled properly.

ADVERTISING AND CATALOGS Ads47 Written advertising includes internet advertising, but not shelf or display signs that indicate the location of textile products in a store.

If a written ad for a textile product makes any statement about a fiber, or implies the presence of a fiber, the fiber content information that's required on the label must appear in the ad , minus the percentages. If you use a fiber trademark in advertising, you must disclose the fiber content information at least once in the ad. The disclosure should include the fiber trademark very close to the generic name of the fiber.

If an ad must include a fiber content disclosure, you must list the fiber names as they appear on the label - in descending order of weight, with fibers constituting less than 5% designated as "other fiber" or "other fibers." The information must be conspicuous and easy to read, in lettering of equal size.

Other information in the ad can't be false, deceptive or misleading, or include any terms or representations that are prohibited under the statute and rules. A fiber trademark can't be used in a misleading way to indicate or imply the presence of a fiber that isn't present.

You may use terms that truthfully describe a fiber with its generic name, like "cross-linked rayon," "solution dyed acetate," "combed cotton," "Pima cotton" or "Egyptian cotton."

Specialty cottons: If your ad refers to premium cottons, such as "Pima" or "Egyptian," make sure it doesn't convey that the product is made only of the premium cotton, unless that's true.

Catalogs48 When a textile or wool product is advertised in a catalog or other mail order promotional material, including on an internet site, the description must include a clear and conspicuous statement that the item was either "made in U.S.A.," "imported" or "made in U.S.A. and [or] imported." Catalog information about origin must be consistent with the information on the label.

CONTINUING AND SEPARATE GUARANTIES49 https://www.ftc.gov/tips-advice/lmsiness-center/guidance/threading-your-way-through-labeling-requirements-under-textile[7171201 8 l 0:23 :36 AM] Threa ding Your \Vay Through the Labeling Requirements Under the Textile and \Vool Acts I Federal Tra de Commission

A guaranty is a written promise that the textile, wool or fur products covered by the guaranty are properly labeled and not falsely or deceptively described in advertising or on invoices. A separate guaranty is one given for goods in a particular transaction. A continuing guaranty covers all products subject to a particular statute, and may be provided by a seller to a buyer or filed with the FTC.

Reliance on the properly executed guaranty of a seller is a legal defense. A business that, in good faith , relies on such a guaranty will not be found in violation of the law if the textile, wool or fur products subsequently are determined to be mislabeled.

The Textile, Wool , and Fur Acts do not require sellers to provide guaranties to buyers or the FTC. They are optional. In addition, these Acts don't require sellers to provide buyers or the FTC with "self-declarations" or "certificates of conformity" about their products.

(1) Separate guaranty (Textile, Wool and Fur products)

A separate guaranty promises compliance with the law for the products listed on the invoice for that transaction. For example, it would state: "We guarantee that the textile fiber [or wool or fur] products specified herein are not misbranded nor falsely nor deceptively advertised or invoiced under the provisions of the Textile Fiber Products Identification Act [or Wool Products Labeling Act or Fur Products Labeling Act] and Rules and regulations thereunder."

The furnishing of a guaranty is a matter between the buyer and seller. The furnishing or filing of a false guaranty is a violation of the law.

(2) Separate guaranty based on a guaranty (Textile and Wool products only)

This is a guaranty of compliance with the law that is based upon another guaranty, issued by the previous seller of the products listed on the invoice. For example, it would state:

"Based upon a guaranty received, we guarantee that the textile fiber [or wool] products specified herein are not misbranded nor falsely nor deceptively advertised or invoiced under the provisions of the Textile Fiber Products Identification Act [or Wool Products Labeling Act] and Rules and regulations thereunder."

(3) Continuing guaranty from seller to buyer (Textile products only)

A continuing guaranty from seller to buyer guarantees compliance with the law for all the covered products sold by that seller to that buyer. It would state:

We, the undersigned, guaranty that all textile fiber products now being sold or which may hereafter be sold or delivered to are not, and will not be misbranded or falsely nor deceptively advertised or invoiced under the provisions of the Textile Fiber Products Identification Act and Rules and regulations thereunder. We acknowledge that furnishing a false guaranty is an unlawful , unfair and deceptive act or practice pursuant to the Federal Trade Commission Act, and certify that we will actively monitor and ensure compliance with the Textile Fiber Products Identification Act and Rules and regulations thereunder during the duration of this guaranty.

Dated , signed, and certified this __day of __, 20_, at ______(City), _(State or Territory) ______(name under which business is conducted).

I certify that the information supplied in this form is true and correct.

Signature of Proprietor, Principal Partner, or Corporate Official

Name (Print or Type) and Title

(4) Continuing guaranty filed with the FTC (Textile, Wool, and Fur products)

A continuing guaranty filed with the FTC is a certified statement that all the textile (or wool or fur) products manufactured or marketed by the guarantor are labeled in compliance with the law and will not be falsely or deceptively advertised or invoiced. A business that has filed a continuing guaranty with the FTC can give notice of that fact by stating on invoices or other papers covering the handling or distribution of guaranteed products:

Continuing guaranty under the Textile Fiber Products Identification Act [or Wool Products Labeling Act or Fur Products Labeling Act] filed with the Federal Trade Commission.

Any person or company in the U.S. that manufactures or otherwise handles covered textile, wool or fur products may file a continuing guaranty with the Commission. The filing of a continuing guaranty is not required by law. However, some buyers may refuse to purchase textile, wool or fur products from a seller that has not filed a continuing guaranty with the FTC. If you file a continuing guaranty with the Commission, you don't need to provide a separate guaranty to each customer or with each shipment of goods.

Foreign companies cannot file a continuing guaranty with the FTC. In addition, a guaranty received by a domestic firm from a foreign company will not serve as a legal defense if the FTC charges the importer with mislabeling products. An importer is legally responsible for the proper labeling of imported textile, wool and fur products. Importers should periodically test the fiber or fur content of imported goods to verify label accuracy. Importers also should be aware that Customs may test products for fiber content and impound mislabeled shipments or obtain liquidated damages.

The Commission announced an enforcement pol icy statement explaining that it will not bring enforcement actions against retailers that:

1. cannot legally obtain a guaranty under the applicable Act;

2. do not embellish or misrepresent claims provided by the manufacturer related to the Act or Rules and

3. do not market the products as private label products, unless they knew or should have known that the marketing or sale of the products would violate the Act or Rules.

Continuing guaranties filed with the FTC are effective until revoked. Guarantors should report any change in address or business status promptly. Continuing guaranties filed with the FTC are public records.

The FTC revised the form for filing continuing guaranties. You don't need to refile continuing guaranties that were filed using the old form. If you need to update your contact or business status information, use FTC Form 31 -A.

RECORD KEEPINGso

Manufacturers of textile products must keep records showing the required label information (fiber content, manufacturer or dealer identity or RN , and country of origin) for all textile products they produce. The records must show that the requirements of the statute and rules were met and establish a traceable line https://www.ftc .gov/tips-advice/lmsiness-center/guidance/threading-your-way-through-labeling-requirements-under-textile[71712018 l 0:23: 36 AM] Threading Yom Way Through the Labeling Requirements Under the Textile and Wool Acts I Federal Trade Cmmnission from the ra w materials to the finished product.

Any business that substitutes a label on a textile product must keep records showing the information on the label that was removed and the name of the party from whom the product was received. These records must be kept for three years.

The same record-keeping requirements apply to manufacturers of wool products, plus one: their records must show the percentage weight of any non fibrous filling material.

SUMMARY OF FTC LABELING REQUIREMENTss1 Label information Fur products must have a label disclosing:

• the animal name, according to a name guide contained in the rules.

• If the animal came from a particular country, the adjective form of the country name may precede the animal name (for example, "Russian Mink"), but isn't required to.

• the name or RN of the manufacturer, importer or other seller, marketer, or distributor.

• In general, the requirements for a company name, RN , and label substitution are the same as those for textile and wool products.

• the country of origin for imported fur, including country of origin for fur in imported fur products and furs made into fur products in the U.S. For example: "fur origin: Canada."

• Domestic fur products may be labeled to show origin. They also may be labeled to show the state or part of the country they came from. A name that connotes a false geographic origin can't be used, and domestic furs can't be labeled or advertised in a way that implies they are imported.

• if the fur is pointed, dyed, bleached or artificially colored.

• If none of these treatments applies, the fur should be labeled "natural."

• if the fur product is composed in whole or substantial part (more than 10% of surface area) of pieces, like paws, tails, bellies, gills, ears, throats, heads, scraps or waste fur. • if the fur is used or damaged.

• the textile or wool content of any part of the product. For example: On a wool coat with fur trim, the label must disclose the wool content as required by the Wool Act and Rules. The content of a fur coat lining must be disclosed if the lining provides added warmth or if the marketer makes a claim about its fiber content.

Note: The Dog and Cat Protection Act of 200052 prohibits importing, exporting, manufacturing, selling, trading, advertising, transporting or distributing any products made with dog or cat fur.

Lettering All required information must be clearly legible, conspicuous, readily accessible to the prospective purchaser and in letters of equal size and conspicuousness. All of the required information must appear on one side of the label.

Invoices and advertising • The required information must appear on invoices and in advertising for fur products.

• Ads for a group of furs with various countries of origin may use the following statement, instead of separately listing the countries: "Fur products labeled to show country of origin of imported furs. " This doesn't apply to catalog or internet advertising where the customer won't have the chance to examine the product and its label before purchase.

• Advertising of a general or institutional nature that's not intended to promote the sale of any particular product(s) doesn't need to include the required information. But, if the ad makes any reference to a color, and the color is due to artificial coloring , that fact must be disclosed.

Exemption Note: Congress passed the Truth in Fur Labeling Act in December 2010. The Commission 's exemption to the Fur Products Labeling Act for fur products with a component value of $150 has not been in effect since March 18, 2011.

The Truth in Fur Labeling Act also creates an exemption for furs sold by trappers and hunters in certain face-to-face transactions from home or at temporary locations like craft fairs , provided the sales are not the person's primary source of income. Read the statute for specifics.

The Commission's amended Fur Rules took effect November 19, 2014.

Record keeping: Continuing and separate guaranties These provisions are basically the same as those for textile and wool products.

ENFORCEMENT OF THE TEXTILE, WOOL, AND FUR RULES

A violation of the Textile, Wool and Fur Acts, or the Commission's Rules under those Acts, is considered an unfair method of competition and an unfair and deceptive act or practice under the Federal Trade Commission Act. 53

The FTC Act provides various remedies for these violations, including issuing an administrative order prohibiting the act or practice that violates the FTC Act. Violators of an administrative order are subject to monetary civil penalties of up to $41,484 per violation. Each instance of mislabeling under the Textile, Wool and Fur Acts is considered a separate violation.

Businesses not subject to a previous administrative order also can be subject to monetary ci vil penalties,54 an injunction and other remedies, including consumer redress, in a federal district court action. The Commission can bring a civil penalty case against a company that knowingly engages in practices like mislabeling of textile products that the Commission has determined to be unfair or deceptive in prior cases. In this kind of case, "knowledge" refers to knowledge of the law . Because copies of the statutes, rules, and prior decisions in the textile, wool and fur areas have been distributed widely by the Commission, many manufacturers and sellers know the labeling requirements.

Improperly labeled imported items can be held up by Customs and possibly subject to liquidated damages. https://www.ftc.gov/tips-advice/business-center/guidance/tlueading-yom-way-through-labeling-requirements-under-textile[71712018 l 0:23: 36 AM] Threa ding Your \Vay Through the Labeling Requirements Under the Textile and \Vool Acts I Federal Tra de Commission
