Fur Trimming Garment

In December 7th, the US Senate passed the legislation (H.R.2480) to amend the fur products labelling law, requiring all Fur Trimmed costumes to be labelled.


According to the current "

fur products

Label method, with small or low price fur (equal to or less than 150 dollars) of animal fur, no label is necessary.

It is estimated that about 14% of the fur trimming garments are exempt.

H.R.2480 will abolish the exemption and the legislation will take effect 90 days later.


The legislation also includes an exemption from fur products sold by non retailers, which are exempt from the fur products Labelling Act.

The characteristics of these fur products are:


(1) animal fur is captured by trap or hunting;


(2) temporary housing in the residential or handicraft market or other hunters.

Short term place

The profit is not the basic income source of the hunter.

The legislation also provides that the Federal Trade Commission will re-examine the guidelines for fur product names within 90 days after the entry into force of the legislation.


Although the US law prohibits the import of fur from dogs or cats, the immunity granted in the fur products law does not apply to fur of dogs or cats, but members of Congress worry that some clothing mixed with dogs and cats fur will flow into the United States.

According to the Humane Association's data, dog fur is labeled "hyenas" fur in some garments, and real fur is labeled "artificial fur".


Last year, a congressman pointed out that 96% of the fur border jacket tested by the humane society contained dogs, wolves or raccoons.

But no labels or misleading labels were added.


Many states such as Delaware, New Jersey, New York, Massachusetts and Wisconsin have stipulated that all genuine fur and fur trimming garments sold in the state must be accompanied by the "genuine fur" label. All the garments made of artificial fur must be accompanied by "artificial fur" labels.
