All [textile fiber products](/usc/15/70.md?p=h) imported into the United States shall be stamped, tagged, labeled, or otherwise identified in accordance with the provisions of [section 70b of this title](/usc/15/70b.md), and all invoices of such products required pursuant to [section 1484 of title 19](/usc/19/1484.md), 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](/usc/15/70b.md?p=b), which information shall be in the invoices prior to their certification, if such certification is required pursuant to [section 1484 of title 19](/usc/19/1484.md). 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](/usc/19/1485.md), 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](/usc/15/70.md?p=k) under the Federal Trade Commission Act [[15 U.S.C. 41](/usc/15/41.md) et seq.]; and any [person](/usc/15/70.md?p=a) who falsifies, or perjures the consignee’s declaration insofar as it relates to such information, may thenceforth be prohibited by the [Commission](/usc/15/70.md?p=j) from importing, or participating in the importation of, any [textile fiber product](/usc/15/70.md?p=h) 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](/usc/15/70.md?p=b) content as required under the provisions of this subchapter may be required under regulation prescribed by the Secretary of the Treasury.
