Commerce Revokes Huawei-Related Export Licenses, Report Says

The Commerce Department has revoked export licenses used by Intel and Qualcomm to sell certain semiconductors to Huawei, the Financial Times reported May 7. The report said the companies used the licenses to sell chips for Huawei’s laptops and mobile phones. A Commerce spokesperson didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment but told the Financial Times that the agency “continuously” assesses its export controls, and “as part of this process, as we have done in the past, we sometimes revoke export licenses.”

The report comes about two weeks after two Republican senators urged the agency to immediately revoke all export licenses to the Chinese technology company (see 2404260031).
