PART 303_RULES AND REGULATIONS UNDER THE TEXTILE FIBER PRODUCTS 
IDENTIFICATION ACT--Table of Contents
 
Sec. 303.15  Required label and method of affixing.

    (a) A label is required to be affixed to each textile product and, 
where required, to its package or container in a secure manner. Such 
label shall be conspicuous and shall be of such durability as to remain 
attached to the product and its package throughout any distribution, 
sale, resale and until sold and delivered to the ultimate consumer.
    (b) Each textile fiber product with a neck must have a label 
disclosing the country of origin affixed to the inside center of the 
neck midway between the shoulder seams or in close proximity to another 
label affixed to the inside center of the neck. The fiber content and RN 
or name of the company may be disclosed on the same label as the country 
of origin or on another conspicuous and readily accessible label or 
labels on the inside or outside of the garment. On all other textile 
products, the required information shall be disclosed on a conspicuous 
and readily accessible label or labels on the inside or outside of the 
product. The country of origin disclosure must always appear on the 
front side of the label. Other required information may appear either on 
the front side or the reverse side of a label, provided that the 
information is conspicuous and readily accessible.
    (c) In the case of hosiery products, this section shall not be 
construed as requiring the affixing of a label to each hosiery product 
contained in a package if, (1) such hosiery products are intended for 
sale to the ultimate consumer in such package, (2) such package has 
affixed to it a label bearing the required information for the hosiery 
products contained in the package, and (3) the information on the label 
affixed to the package is equally applicable to each textile fiber 
product contained therein.
