Search 15 U.S.C. § 70g : US Code - Section 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.
