Exporter Moves to Treat Submission as 'Highly Sensitive' in UFLPA Entity List Suit
Chinese exporter Ninestar Corp. on March 22 moved to treat its submission at the Court of International Trade in support of its motion to unseal and unredact the record as a "highly sensitive document" in its case contesting its listing on the Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act Entity List. The exporter said it doesn't waive any claim that certain parts of the record "should eventually be unsealed," nor does it waive any argument that its requested documents shouldn't be treated as confidential information under the court's protective order (Ninestar Corp. v. United States, CIT # 23-00182).

In Ninestar's case, the trade court recently rejected the company's motion for a preliminary injunction against its designation after finding it was unlikely to succeed on the merits of its case (see 2402290081).
Alongside its PI motion, Ninestar also moved to unseal and unredact parts of the record, arguing that it needs access to the information in the proceeding to adequately defend itself (see 2401160044).
