Hey Canon, China’s Ninestar is Selling Your Toners in the US, Defying the Ban!
Ninestar Defies US Ban (see below): Selling Canon and Kyocera Toners Despite Sanctions.
In a bold and illegal move, Chinese manufacturer Ninestar Technology is openly distributing remanufactured Canon PG285xxl/CL286xxl inkjet cartridges and various toner cartridges, including the Canon T06 and Kyocera TK1262, TK1272 models. This action flies in the face of the U.S. government’s ban on Ninestar, which was imposed due to alleged human rights violations and supply chain security concerns.A recent marketing communication from Ninestar Technology Co., Ltd. openly promotes the availability of these banned products, encouraging distributors and retailers to stock and sell them. According to the message, Ninestar is the “first one who has these products in the market,” highlighting their willingness to continue operations in defiance of U.S. trade restrictions.
Background of the U.S. Ban
In June 2023, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security placed Ninestar and its subsidiaries on the “Entity List,” effectively banning U.S. companies from doing business with them. The ban was issued due to allegations that Ninestar was involved in forced labor practices in China, particularly in Xinjiang. This move was part of the broader U.S. effort to curb unethical labor practices and secure the supply chain for critical printing and office supplies.Despite these restrictions, Ninestar appears to have found ways to continue selling its products in the U.S. market, either through third-party distributors or loopholes in enforcement. This raises serious questions about how effectively the ban is being enforced and whether major retailers are knowingly or unknowingly stocking blacklisted products.
Canon and Kyocera Products on the Market
The leaked marketing email reveals that Ninestar has successfully developed and begun selling remanufactured inkjet cartridges for Canon PIXMA TR7820/TS7720 printers, as well as toner cartridges for imageCLASS and imageRUNNER printers.The following products were highlighted
Canon PG285xxl/CL286xxl – Remanufactured high-yield inkjet cartridges for popular Canon PIXMA models. Canon T06, T06L Toner – Compatible with imageCLASS X MF1643i II, 1643iF II, and imageRUNNER 1643 series. Kyocera TK1262, TK1272 Toners – Designed for Kyocera ECOSYS PA4000wx, MA4000x, and related models.The presence of these products on the market despite the ban suggests that Ninestar has either found ways to bypass restrictions or is relying on third-party distributors willing to take the risk of importing and selling banned goods.
Potential Legal Consequences
If Ninestar or its affiliates are caught violating U.S. trade restrictions, the consequences could be severe. Any American distributor, retailer, or individual found purchasing or selling these banned products could face heavy fines and potential criminal charges under the U.S. Customs and Border Protection’s enforcement of the Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act (UFLPA).The U.S. government has taken a hard stance against Chinese firms accused of unethical labor practices, and Ninestar’s continued operations in the American market could trigger further investigations and crackdowns. Major resellers such as Amazon, eBay, and independent office supply chains should be wary of inadvertently stocking these products.
What This Means for Consumers and Businesses
For consumers, the availability of Ninestar’s ink and toner cartridges may seem like a good deal, as their remanufactured products often come at a lower price than OEM equivalents. However, purchasing these products may not only contribute to potential human rights violations but also expose buyers to counterfeit risks and possible legal repercussions.For businesses, this situation highlights the importance of scrutinizing supply chains. Companies caught selling or using banned Ninestar products could face significant liabilities, including fines and reputational damage. Organizations should verify their sources and ensure compliance with U.S. trade laws to avoid unintended violations.
Final Thoughts
Ninestar Technology’s blatant defiance of U.S. trade restrictions raises significant concerns about the effectiveness of government sanctions and the responsibility of distributors and retailers to enforce them. If left unchecked, this could set a dangerous precedent for other banned entities to follow suit, undermining the entire regulatory framework designed to protect workers and maintain fair trade practices.Authorities must take swift action to crack down on the sale of these banned products and ensure that U.S. markets are not being infiltrated by companies that disregard legal and ethical standards. In the meantime, businesses and consumers should remain vigilant and avoid purchasing unauthorized Ninestar products to stay compliant with U.S. laws and ethical sourcing practices.
