Labeling of imported magnetic recording tape

No. 366. Labeling of imported magnetic recording tape. The Commission issued an advisory opinion with respect to the labeling of imported magnetic recording tape.

In commenting upon the proposed labels as submitted, the Commission expressed the view that (1) the words indicating the foreign country of origin should appear on the front or principal display panel; (2) the term "recording tape" should be used as the specification of the identity of the commodity and that it should comprise a principal feature of the principal display panel; (3) in view of its understanding that recording tape is of uniform width , the length of the tape should be expressed in terms of feet followed in parentheses by a declaration of yards and common or decimal fractions of the yard, or in terms of feet followed in parentheses by a declaration of yards with any remainder in terms of feet and inches; and (4) the place of business of the manufacturer, packer, or distributor should include the street address, city, State, and Zip Code; however the street address may be omitted if it is shown in a current city directory or telephone directory.

The Commission invited the applicant' s attention to its regulations under Section 4 of the Fair Packaging and Labeling Act for additional information . (File No. 693 7146 Released September 1969)
