No. 321. Sale of unlabeled American made products. The Commission issued an advisory opinion to an American manufacturer in response to his request concerning sale of one of his products, with or without labels. He asked for the opinion because a dealer in another State has recently placed a substantial order for the product, specifying that it must be shipped in unlabeled containers. The supplier believes the dealer may intend to resell the product in export trade. The manufacturer does not enjoy a monopoly.
The Commission advised the applicant that, under laws administered by the Commission, (1) You may legitimately refuse to sell a specific product to a customer who asks for it in an unlabeled container; (2) No labels are required on American made merchandise sold in export
