FABRIC Act (H.R. 5502 / S. 2817) — Textile and Apparel Import Compliance
Both a House (H.R. 5502) and Senate (S. 2817) version of the FABRIC Act have been identified in the 118th Congress. The bill targets textile and apparel supply chains, and while the full substantive text was not available in the provided record, the legislation is understood to address forced-labor and origin-related concerns in fabric and apparel imports.
We are tracking both companion bills as potentially material to apparel and textile importers, given the industry's ongoing forced-labor scrutiny. In our view, even a filtered document record signals legislative momentum worth monitoring as the bill moves through committee.
