Huawei’s Temporary License Extended to May 15 by the US
Mar. 11, 2020Huawei has got another breather as the Donald Trump administration has extended a license that allows companies in the US to do business with the Chinese telecom giant until May 15.
The license was previously extended until April 1.
The US Commerce Department on Tuesday said it was seeking public comments on whether it should issue future extensions of the temporary license for Huawei despite it being on the “Entity List”.
At the same time, the US Commerce Department extended the license through May 15 to provide for this opportunity for public input.
People in the US can offer their comments from March 10-25.
The TGL authorises specific, limited engagement in transactions involving the export, re-export, and transfer of items subject to the Export Administration Regulations to Huawei Technologies Co. Ltd. and its non-US affiliates on the Entity List through May 15.
Huawei was added to the Entity List after the US government concluded the company poses a “significant risk of involvement in activities contrary to the national security or foreign policy interests of the United States”.
