The Commerce Department squeezed U.S. export controls on Chinese telecommunications gear supplier Huawei’s manufacturing supply chain on May 15.
The agency’s Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) said it would limit the company’s ability to use U.S. semiconductor companies’ design and software outside of the U.S.
BIS said it was changing its foreign produced, direct product rules specifically targeting Huawei’s acquisition of U.S. software and technology to make semiconductors overseas.
