Textile & apparel products are subject to special requirements for marking and labeling that are governed by U.S. Customs and Border Protection and/or the Federal Trade Commission. Some labeling information must be placed in certain locations within a product or at a certain point in the supply chain. In addition, labels may be allowed to be temporary or have to be permanent.
