Chinese customs authorities have implemented a large-scale measure against unlicensed Nvidia chip shipments. As part of these measures, inspection teams have been deployed to major ports to check hardware shipments. This step is seen as part of the Chinese government's regulatory policy in the technological sector.
Redaksiya reports that these measures follow the restrictions imposed by the US on the export of high-level artificial intelligence chips to China. The inspection teams have specifically targeted Nvidia chips such as the A800 and H800. These chips are high-performance chips whose shipment to China is restricted under US export controls. According to sources, customs officials are carefully checking the licenses and other documents of the shipments.
These inspections are seen in connection with Chinese companies attempting to acquire chips through illegal means to circumvent US-imposed restrictions. Such measures are part of the Chinese government's efforts to protect its technological sovereignty and combat US technological superiority. The strengthening of customs control could slow down the development of Chinese companies in the fields of artificial intelligence and other high technologies. This could also affect the revenues of companies like Nvidia in the Chinese market.
