Export controls

Designation matches and country access rules
Headquarters: China.
Heavily Restricted. Advanced-chip exports face extensive restrictions. The January 2026 rule provides conditional case-by-case review for qualifying US exports, including H200 and MI325X. Chinese-designed alternatives require their own legal assessment. Classification based on rules as of 17 Jul 2026.
- The January 2026 pathway applies to qualifying US exports to China or Macau below 21,000 TPP and 6,500 GB/s total DRAM bandwidth. H200 and MI325X are examples, not an exhaustive eligibility list.
- The rule caps aggregate TPP exported to China and Macau against 50% of TPP shipped to US customers for US end-use for the same commodities, from first commercial US shipment through application. Supply, end-use, security and testing conditions also apply.
- BIS’s May 2025 guidance lists Ascend 910B, 910C and 910D as PRC advanced-computing chips subject to the presumption that General Prohibition 10 applies: they “were likely developed or produced in violation of U.S. export controls”, so using them without BIS authorization risks violating those controls.
No designation matches this organisation in Scrutica’s cross-reference, which links 39 organisations to export-control lists sourced from the Federal Register.

How the figures were made
Of the statements on this page, 1 is attested and 1 is reported.
Grades depend on the source’s authority tier, the discloser’s role and the estimate flag.
Attested. A non-estimated claim from a primary or research source, disclosed by the organisation, a counterparty or a regulator.
Reported. Press or third-party reporting.
Inferred. Derived or estimated, including announced capacity ceilings.
A value flagged as estimated grades inferred regardless of its source. This includes capacity ceilings announced by a party to the agreement.
Control claims cite supporting disclosures for ownership, operating and contractual arrangements. Export-control designations use Federal Register citations, the designation-to-organisation cross-reference, and rule-derived country access classifications.
Disclosure posture reads the Global LEI Foundation golden copy by the organisation’s own identifier and its SEC registrant record where one exists. Capacity comes from facility catalogs; each figure links to its source.
