The method of markings as indicated on the article, a textile label sewn to one side of the articles are acceptable.

You should contact the Federal Trade Commission, Washington, D.C., 20580, for information on the applicability of these requirements to this item.

All applicable entry requirements must be met including the filing of form ITA-362P.

A copy of this ruling letter should be attached to the entry documents filed at the time this merchandise is imported. If the documents have been filed without a copy, this ruling should be brought to the attention of the Customs officer handling the transaction.

Sincerely,
