Parent Huawei is on the US FCC Covered List; that covers Huawei's telecom & video-surveillance equipment, not this product.

Huawei telecom/surveillance equipment is also barred from US federal procurement & contractor use (NDAA §889); this product is not that equipment.

Export-control note

  • Huawei is on the US BIS Entity List (since 2019): exporting US-origin technology to it requires a license (presumption of denial); a Huawei-specific Foreign-Produced Direct Product Rule also applies.
