15 U.S.C. § 69dFur products imported into United States

in plain englishAI-generated · not legal advice

Imported fur products must be labeled correctly, and their customs invoices must include the same fur-disclosure information as domestic products. Faking or skipping that information is an unfair trade practice, and violators can be barred from importing unless they post a bond for double the goods' value.

(a) Necessity of proper labeling; additional information: Fur products imported into the United States must be labeled so they aren't misbranded under section 69b. Their customs invoices, required under the Tariff Act of 1930, must also include the information section 69c(b) requires, in addition to what the Tariff Act already requires, and this must be included before the invoices are certified under that Act. (b) Violations of Federal Trade Commission Act: Falsifying or omitting that information on the invoices — or falsifying or committing perjury on the consignee's declaration under the Tariff Act, as it relates to that information — is an unfair method of competition and unfair or deceptive practice under the FTC Act. Anyone who does this can be barred by the Commission from importing, or helping import, fur products or furs into the U.S., unless they post a bond with the Secretary of the Treasury for double the value of the products or furs (plus any duty), conditioned on future compliance with this section. (c) Verified statement of compliance: The Secretary of the Treasury can require, by regulation, a verified statement from the manufacturer, producer, or dealer showing the information this subchapter requires.

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 the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended [19 U.S.C. 1202 et seq.], 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 fur products or furs into the United States except upon filing bond with the Secretary of the Treasury in a sum double the value of said fur products and furs, and any duty thereon, conditioned upon compliance with the provisions of this section.
