  • Allow the provision of nonpublic information about merchandise to the person if that information was:

    • Generated by an express consignment operator, a freight forwarder, an online marketplace or other similar market platform, or any other entity involved in the sale or importation of merchandise into the United States or the facilitation of such sale or importation.
