                SUBCHAPTER III--LABELING OF WOOL PRODUCTS
 
Sec. 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.
