US EditionChina's customs agents told Nvidia's H200 chips are not permitted: Reuters
Chinese customs barred Nvidia's H200 AI chips despite U.S. export approval; over two million chips ordered by Chinese firms highlight high demand, Reuters reported.
- Reuters reported that Chinese customs told customs agents this week that Nvidia's H200 chips are not permitted to enter China, and one source said the wording is basically a ban for now.
- The U.S. Department of Commerce, Bureau of Industry and Security this week revised its license review policy to allow limited H200 exports under conditions, with United States export controls since 2022 capping China at 50% of such chips sold to U.S. customers.
- Chinese technology companies have ordered more than two million H200 chips, while Nvidia's inventory is 700,000, and the H200 delivers roughly six times the performance of the H20 for large-scale AI training.
- On Tuesday, officials summoned domestic technology companies and told them not to purchase the chips `unless necessary`, sources say exemptions are limited to research and development users and universities, and Reuters could not determine if the directives apply to existing orders.
- The H200 sits at the centre of broader U.S.-China tensions because it has become a major flashpoint in trade, with U.S. China-hawks worried it could boost China’s military AI; Chinese ministries and Nvidia did not respond to Reuters.
