Enforcing laws that ensure U.S. business markets competitively operate, protect consumers, and ensure they are well informed prior to the purchase of goods is the responsibility of The Federal Trade Commission (FTC).

Proper labeling and marking of imported goods in the area of textiles, wool and fur products are a primary concern.  The FTC closely monitors imported products to ensure that specific regulations are adhered to.

The Fur Labeling Act, which is regulated by the FTC, requires manufactures to identify fur components utilized within their commodities with specific labeling.  The guidelines to this act are noted in this section.

Though guidelines to the Fur Labeling Act, textiles, and wool are provided to our foreign suppliers, this in no way eliminates the responsibility of our suppliers to ensure on their own, the correct labeling and marking of goods exported to NMG.  We urge our vendors to review the U.S. regulations that pertain to the goods that they sell. There may be other requirements that apply.
