§69h Guaranty

Summary

You are not guilty of breaking the law if you have a written guaranty, given in good faith, signed by a person living in the United States who made the fur or from whom you got it. The guaranty must include that person’s name and address and say the fur is not misbranded or falsely advertised or invoiced. The guaranty can be a separate paper for that item (even on the invoice) or a continuing guaranty filed with the Commission in the form the Commission sets. It is illegal to give a false guaranty when you know the falsely guaranteed fur might be sold, moved, or distributed. A person who relied on a good-faith guaranty signed by the U.S. maker or supplier is not treated as guilty. Giving a false guaranty is considered an unfair or deceptive business practice under the Federal Trade Commission Act.
