ITC Seeks Public Input in Case of Fraudulently Labeled Bed Sheets from India

The Commission instituted this investigation on December 18, 2015, based on a complaint filed by AAVN, Inc. of Richardson, Texas. The complaint alleged violations of section 337 of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (19 U.S.C. 1337), in the importation into the United States, the sale for importation, or the sale within the United States after importation of certain woven textile fabrics and products containing same, by reason of infringement of claims 1-7 of U.S. Patent No. 9,131,790 ("the '790 patent") and/or by reason of false advertising. The notice of investigation named fifteen respondents. In the course of the investigation, fourteen of the respondents were terminated from the investigation based upon settlement agreement or consent order. Remaining is Pradip Overseas Ltd. of Ahmedabad, India.

In the complaint, AAVN accused Pradip of false advertising, specifically alleging that Pradip misrepresented the thread count of sheets manufactured in India, imported into the United Sates, and sold in United States department stores ("800 Thread Count" sheets measured at 252.7 threads). Although Pradip responded to the complaint, Pradip later terminated its relationship with its attorneys and represented that it would not participate in the remainder of the investigation.

On September 2, 2016, AAVN moved for leave to file a summary determination motion. The summary determination motion that was appended argued, inter alia, that Pradip had violated section 337 by falsely advertising the thread count of its imported sheets, that the false advertising was deceptive, material, and injurious to AAVN. AAVN sought a general exclusion order and 100 percent bond.

On November 10, 2016, the Administrative Law Judge granted the motion for summary determination as the subject ID. The ALJ found that AAVN had shown a violation of section 337 by reason of false advertising under section 43 of the Lanham Act, 15 U.S.C. 1125(a)(1)(B). As to remedy, citing 19 U.S.C. 1337(d)(2), which sets forth the test for issuance of a general exclusion order, id. at 16, the ALJ found that ``the evidence shows a widespread pattern of violation of Section 337,'' id. at 17. The ALJ also found that ``the evidence shows that it is difficult to identify the source and manufacturers of the falsely advertised products,'' because ``U.S. retailers fail to identify the manufacturer, importer or seller of the textile products at the point of sale.'' Id. at 18. Nor do import records ``reveal the names of the original manufacturers of the materials used to construct the imported products.'' Id. Accordingly, the ALJ found ``that the evidence shows that it is difficult, if not impossible, to identify the sources of the falsely advertised goods.'' Id. Based on these findings the ALJ recommended the issuance of a general exclusion order. Id. In the alternative, the ALJ recommended the issuance of a limited exclusion order. Id. at 19. The ALJ recommended that bond be set at 100 percent of the entered value of the falsely advertised products. Id.

In connection with the final disposition of this investigation, the Commission may (1) issue an order that could result in the exclusion of the subject articles from entry into the United States, and/or (2) issue one or more cease and desist orders that could result in the respondent(s) being required to cease and desist from engaging in unfair acts in the importation and sale of such articles. Accordingly, the Commission is interested in receiving written submissions that address the form of remedy, if any, that should be ordered.

If the Commission contemplates some form of remedy, it must consider the effects of that remedy upon the public interest. The factors the Commission will consider include the effect that an exclusion order and/or cease and desist orders would have on (1) the public health and welfare, (2) competitive conditions in the U.S. economy, (3) U.S. production of articles that are like or directly competitive with those that are subject to investigation, and (4) U.S. consumers. The Commission is therefore interested in receiving written submissions that address the aforementioned public interest factors in the context of this investigation.

If the Commission orders some form of remedy, the U.S. Trade Representative, as delegated by the President, has 60 days to approve or disapprove the Commission's action. During this period, the subject articles would be entitled to enter the United States under bond, in an amount determined by the Commission and prescribed by the Secretary of the Treasury. The Commission is therefore interested in receiving submissions concerning the amount of the bond that should be imposed if a remedy is ordered.

Written submissions and proposed remedial orders must be filed no later than close of business on January 6, 2017. Reply submissions, if any, must be filed no later than the close of business on January 13, 2017. Such submissions should address the ALJ's recommended determinations on remedy and bonding which were made in Order No. 21. No further submissions on any of these issues will be permitted unless otherwise ordered by the Commission.

Notice of Availability of Regulatory Flexibility Act Section 610 Review of the Standard for the Flammability (Open Flame) of Mattress Sets

On December 19, 2016, the Consumer Product Safety Commission published in the Federal Register (81 FR 91923) Notice of Availability of Regulatory Flexibility Act Section 610 Review of the Standard for the Flammability (Open Flame) of Mattress Sets

In 2006, the CPSC issued a Standard for the Flammability (Open Flame) of Mattress Sets under the Flammable Fabrics Act. (71 FR 13472, March 15, 2006). The Mattress Standard set forth test procedures and performance requirements that all mattress sets must meet before being introduced into commerce. These requirements are set forth at 16 CFR part 1633.

On April 3, 2015, the Commission published notice in the Federal Register (80 FR 18218) to announce that the CPSC would review the Mattress Standard in accordance with the regulatory review provisions of section 610 of the RFA (5 U.S.C. 610) and sought public comment on the rule review. This document announces the availability of completed regulatory review of the Mattress Standard.

The purpose of a rule review under section 610 of the RFA is to determine whether, consistent with the CPSC's statutory obligations, this standard should be maintained without change, rescinded, or modified to minimize any significant impact of the rule on a substantial number of small entities. Section 610 requires agencies to consider five factors in reviewing rules to minimize any significant economic impact of the rule on a substantial number of small entities including:

(1) The continued need for the rule;

(2) The nature of complaints or comments received concerning the rule from the public;

(3) The complexity of the rule;

(4) The extent to which the rule overlaps, duplicates or conflicts with other Federal rules, and, to the extent feasible, with State and local governmental rules; and

(5) The length of time since the rule has been evaluated or the degree to which technology, economic conditions, or other factors have changed in the area affected by the rule. 5 U.S.C. 610(b).

The CPSC received 16 written comments representing the views of mattress manufacturers, component manufacturers, fire safety representatives, third party testing bodies, environmental groups, trade associations, and consumers. Staff's briefing package reviews these comments and provides staff's analysis applying the factors listed in section 610 of the RFA to the Mattress Standard. As explained in the staff's briefing package, the staff concludes that the Mattress Standard should be continued without any changes. However, staff believes that stakeholders may benefit from additional outreach and training.

The staff's briefing package containing the review is available on the CPSC Web site at: https://www.cpsc.gov/Business--Manufacturing/Business-Education/Business-Guidance/Mattresses.

Limitation of Duty-Free Imports of Apparel Articles Assembled in Haiti Under the Haitian Hemispheric Opportunity Through Partnership for Encouragement Act

The Caribbean Basin Economic Recovery Act ("CBERA"), as Amended by the Haitian Hemispheric Opportunity Through Partnership Encouragement Act ("HOPE") provides duty-free treatment for certain apparel articles imported directly from Haiti. One of the preferences is known as the "value-added" provision, which requires that apparel meet a minimum threshold percentage of value added in Haiti, the United States, and/or certain beneficiary countries. The provision is subject to a quantitative limitation, which is calculated as a percentage of total apparel imports into the United States for each 12-month annual period. For the annual period from December 20, 2016 through December 19, 2017, the quantity of imports eligible for preferential treatment under the value-added provision is 337,117,964 square meters equivalent.

Turkish Flokser Seeks to Acquire Assets of Microfibres

According to Furniture Today a Turkish enterprise has submitted a purchase agreement to acquire the assets of bankrupt fabric supplier Microfibres for $5.79 million.

Microfibres ceased domestic production in late January and declared Chapter 7 bankruptcy. The company had sales of $55.5 million in 2014 but fell more than 30% to $41.6 million in 2015.

Before filing for bankruptcy, Microfibres operated textile plants or maintained warehouses in Pawtucket, R.I.; Winston-Salem, N.C.; and Tupelo, Miss. The company also owned equity interests in companies located in Belgium, Hong Kong, China and Mexico.

Wool and Skin – Putting an End to the Myth of Wool Allergy

BRUSSELS, BELGIUM, 15 December 2016 – Like a stubborn stain, the idea that wool is an allergen just won’t go away. Recent headlines about the uniforms of American Airlines flight attendants scapegoated the wool in the fabric even though the manufacturer’s standard uniform comprises more polyester than wool, and testing by the flight attendants union found detectable levels of chemicals commonly found in pesticides, fungicides and fertilizers.

Moreover, the union reported concerns that the manufacturing of the fabric, not its fibre content, was the source of the problem. Even so, the focus came down to wool “allergy.”

First, the facts. It is a common misconception that wool can cause an allergic reaction. Studies show that all fibres, not only wool, can provoke a prickle sensation on the skin if the fibre end is coarse enough. This prickle can be itchy and cause irritation, but it is not allergy.

While fine fibres bend and brush against the skin, coarse fibres tend to be more rigid and can trigger nerve endings in the skin’s surface.

The wool fibre exists in many levels of fineness, which is measured in microns. Most of the wool in clothing has an average diameter between 11.5 and 24 microns. Wool over 24 microns is generally used in interior textiles or outer-layer clothing that is not in contact with the skin.

Notably, so-called allergic reactions to wool garments have decreased within the last 50 years, coinciding with reduced use of many products previously used in the finishing stage of textile production.

New research shows wearing wool next to skin has significant benefits

Next, the news. Far from being an allergen, recent research conducted by The Woolmark Company has demonstrated that wearing superfine wool garments against the skin is therapeutic in the treatment of eczema (atopic dermatitis).

Dr Lynda Spelman of Queensland Institute of Dermatology says that participants in a study she conducted showed substantially reduced eczema symptoms when they wore superfine wool undergarments. None of the participants displayed an allergic or irritant reaction.

“We have seen substantial reductions in skin dryness, redness and itchiness and in the measured area of inflammation – and for a number of the patients, this is the first time a real solution to their condition has been presented,” Dr Spelman said.

She says the results appear to relate partly to the unique moisture management properties of wool.

“Wool is a hygroscopic fibre which has the ability to absorb up to 36% of its weight in water and create a thermal buffer between the skin and the external environment. The wool appears to be keeping the moisture content of the wearer’s delicate skin at the levels it should be, preventing it from becoming too dry and therefore reducing the risks of bacterial infection and the desire to scratch the itch.”

These findings are being documented and are due to be published in high-rating dermatological journals following peer review. Once published, The Woolmark Company and the International Wool Textile Organisation will take this message to the wool supply chain and consumer markets around the world.

“Many patients believed they were allergic to wool. However, we didn’t have a single patient withdraw from the study due to any types of intolerance of these superfine wools.” – Angus Ireland, The Woolmark Company

At a recent IWTO meeting in Biella, Italy, Woolmark Company Fibre Advocacy and Eco Credential Program Manager Angus Ireland described the progress being made in understanding wool’s effects on health and wellbeing.

“The traditional advice to eczema sufferers to indiscriminately avoid wool against the skin, based on early commentaries that failed to distinguish between wool fibre types, can now be modified to include superfine Merino as a recommended next-to-skin clothing choice,” Mr Ireland said.

“It’s interesting to note that in the studies conducted, many patients believed they were allergic to wool. However, we didn’t have a single patient withdraw from the study due to any types of intolerance of these superfine wools.”

About IWTO. With a world-wide membership encompassing the wool pipeline from sheep to shop, the International Wool Textile Organisation represents the interests of the global wool trade. By facilitating research and development and maintaining textile industry standards, IWTO ensures a sustainable future for wool.

Textiles and Wearing Apparel Priority Trade Issue Brochure

On December 1, 2016, U.S. Customs and Border Protection posted the Textiles and Wearing Apparel Priority Trade Issue Brochure.

As one of the largest manufacturing employers in the United States, the textile sector is a key component of the U.S. economy. CBP’s enforcement of textile tariff and trade law is critical to protecting revenue and ensuring a fair market for the domestic textile industry, which employs approximately 600,000 domestic workers.

The textile industry (FY 2016):

• Represents more than $121.5 billion in annual imports,
• Consists of about 74,600 importers, and
• Generates approximately 42 percent of all duties collected by CBP.

Textiles have high duty rates, averaging 16 percent, compared to all other imports, which have an average duty rate of 2 percent. CBP collected $13.7 billion in textilerelated duties in FY 2016.

The United States is also one of the largest consumers of textiles in the world. Approximately 21 percent of all U.S. importers import textiles and apparel.

A main focus of CBP textile enforcement is to manage the enforcement of trade agreements and legislated preference programs, which allow eligible textile goods to enter the United States at preferential duty rates.

• 16.9 percent of all textiles and apparel are imported under a relevant trade agreement or preference program,
• Over $20.5 billion of imported textile merchandise claims preferential tariff treatment, and
• Participating importers save $3.2 billion in duties and tariffs.

Preference programs provide reduced or eliminated duties, but there is a strong incentive to falsify claims under these programs on shipments of textiles imported into the United States.

A double or compound fabric: the quilted character and raised patterns are made on a jacquard or dobby loom. Crepe yarn and ordinary yarn are interlaced in the warp and filling, or only in the filling. In finishing, the crepe yarn shrinks and causes the ordinary yarn to pucker or blister to give the fabric a quilted or wadded effect. Some of the fabrics may have TINSEL YARNS worked into the pattern. Originally the fabric was made of cotton and used for men's vests; some cotton fabric is currently used for bedspreads. Now made of cotton, wool, or manufactured fibers. With manufactured fibers, one of the important recent uses has been for dress fabric. 3. A fabric that is made for use as upholstery with a mercerized cotton, ply-yarn warp and both manufactured fiber and heavy cotton ply-yarn filling, or it may have an all-manufactured fiber warp. Wherever the coarse filling yarn interlaces with the face fabric, it causes the remainder of the face to pucker, giving the quilted or blistered effect.”

Next Steps for Duty Suspension Requests

The deadline for submitting petitions for tariff relief under the Miscellaneous Tariff Bill ("MTB") is Monday, December 12th, at 5:15 p.m. EST.

By January 11, 2017, the International Trade Commission ("ITC") will begin accepting public comments on the petitions. Comments will be accepted for 45 calendar days.

By April 13th the Secretary of Commerce will submit to the ITC a report containing the following--

1. Determination of whether there is domestic production of the article and whether any domestic producer objects.
2. Any technical changes necessary for the administration of the suspension or reduction.

Between 120 and 150 days from the publication of the petitions (mid-May to mid-June) the ITC will submit a preliminary report to congress.

60 days after the preliminary report (mid-July mid-August), the ITC will submit the final report to congress.

There is no deadline for congress to vote on the MTB. Since congress has power to remove products from the ITC list, presumably congress will give itself some time to vet the list. That places the earliest likely congressional vote on the MTB in late summer or early fall, nearly a year from the beginning of the process. In the past congress has given the MTB an effective date of 15 days after enactment. However, the ITC will be publishing a new tariff schedule with effective date of January 1, 2018, so congress may decide to make the changes effective on that date as well.
