What happened
Nvidia said it halted all sales and shipments to Megaspeed in June 2025 and that the ban is still in effect, a company spokesman told The Wall Street Journal. According to the company, the Commerce Department later allowed it to send Megaspeed parts and replacement components.
Records tell a different story
Malaysian trade records reviewed by Bloomberg show Megaspeed imported at least 17,544 parts after the ban. That creates a discrepancy between the company's account and the records.
Why it matters
Megaspeed had previously been at the center of a probe into the smuggling of Nvidia chips into China. The new import records raise questions about how export controls are enforced and how effective the ban has been.
Context
The report comes as scrutiny continues over Nvidia's chip shipments to China and export controls. The company maintains that replacement-part shipments were made with departmental approval.
