Country of Origin Marking Requirements for Wearing Apparel

This notice advises the public that Customs is withdrawing its proposed change of practice regarding the country of origin marking of wearing apparel. As provided in T.D. 54640(6), wearing apparel, such as shirts, blouses, coats, sweaters, etc., must be marked with the name of the country of origin by means of a fabric label or label made from natural or synthetic film, sewn or otherwise permanently affixed on the inside center of the neck midway between the shoulder seams or in that immediate area, or otherwise permanently marked in that area in some other manner. Button tags, string tags and other hang-tags, paper labels, and other similar methods of marking will not be acceptable.
