LOS ANGELES—A Fashion District clothing company owner was sentenced Dec. 6 to a year in federal prison for scheming to undervalue imported garments and avoid paying millions of dollars in duties and taxes to the United States.

Ambiance Apparel owner Sang Bum “Ed” Noh agreed to forfeit $81.5 million as part of his plea deal, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office.
