Overview

  • The 15% levy applies exclusively to sales of Nvidia’s China-tailored H20 and AMD’s MI308 AI chips.
  • Approvals followed Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang’s White House meeting that led to lifting April’s ban on those exports.
  • The Trump administration has not announced how it will allocate the funds collected under the agreement.
  • Export control experts warn that trading export restrictions for financial payments sets an unprecedented precedent.
  • Chinese state media and regulators are probing alleged ‘back doors’ in H20 chips, a claim Nvidia rejects.
