Dealers may label a feather-filled product as "feather" if it meets the generic definition of feather or the appropriate definition of commercial feather.
The declaration "feather" must be preceded by the word "waterfowl", "landfowl" or the name of the birdof origin.
The declaration "feather" may not be preceded by words or figures indicating 100% on a plumage product filled with commercial feathers.
At least 90% of the plumage must be from the stated bird of origin.
When feather or any other fibre which is required to be shown by its generic name is a reclaimed fibre, the word "reclaimed", "reprocessed" or "reused" must be shown immediately preceding the generic name.
