U.S. BIS revises license review policy for exports of certain semiconductors to China and Macau
Change from a presumption of denial to case-by-case review
The Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) of the U.S. Department of Commerce today released a final rule revising its license review policy for exports of certain semiconductors to China and Macau, changing it from a presumption of denial to a case-by-case review.
The semiconductors covered by this rule include the Nvidia H200 and its equivalents, as well as less advanced chips, provided they are commercially available in the United States at the time of publication of the final rule and the exporter certifies that:
- There is sufficient supply of the product in the United States
- Production of the product for exports to China will not divert global foundry capacity for similar or more advanced products for end users in the United States
- The recipient has demonstrated sufficient security procedures
- The item undergoes independent, third-party testing in the United States to verify its performance specifications
