Not long after, the government <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tomshardware.com\/tech-industry\/artificial-intelligence\/us-govt-set-to-ban-huawei-intermediary-sophgo-over-ai-chip-supplies-partnership-skirted-us-chip-sanctions\" target=\"_blank\">put computing design company Sophgo<\/a> on the frighteningly named &#8216;Entity List&#8217; for being an intermediary between TSMC and Huawei, possibly without TSMC&#8217;s knowledge.<\/p>\n<p>Huawei was already on this list, so US companies already required a licence to export to Huawei, and now exporting to Sophgo requires a licence, too. TSMC is required to adhere to these restrictions because some of its machines and equipment are US-made.<\/p>\n<p>If these sources are correct, it looks like the US government has been investigating the matter and might have found TSMC to be in breach of these export restrictions. Though, of course, even if the company was in breach, it might not have been intentional.<\/p>\n<p>According to Reuters&#8217; sources, the $1+ billion fine &#8220;comes from export control regulations allowing for a fine of up to twice the value of transactions that violate the rules.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>According to TSMC&#8217;s Nina Kao, the company hasn&#8217;t given Huawei anything since 2020. The $1+ billion fine could apparently be in the form of a &#8220;charging letter&#8221; that would give the company time to respond\u2014so even if the sources are correct, it looks like it might not be a done deal just yet.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking more broadly, now, although TSMC might have recently <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/hardware\/tsmc-and-trump-announce-massive-usd100-billion-investment-in-the-us-including-3-new-fabs-but-its-reasonable-to-ponder-whether-it-will-actually-happen\/\" target=\"_blank\">announced $100 billion worth of investments in the US<\/a>, this doesn&#8217;t put it beyond the reach of export restrictions.
