FedEx delivery service refused to ship a Huawei smartphone to the US
A Huawei P30 was shipped from the UK to the US but FedEx returned it back to the sender

Huawei was placed in a trade ban list by the US and since then, it has been downhill for the Chinese company. This is because no US company is now allowed to have any kind of business relations or deals. Although the ban was on business and not regular deliveries between two parties, FedEx has preemptively decided to not ship a Huawei device.[caption id="attachment_6388491" align="alignnone" width="1280"]

However, the service sent it back to them after a few days. The reason mentioned for the return on the box stated: “Parcel returned by FedEx, due to US government issue with Huawei and China government.”As reported by The Verge, FedEx knew about the manufacturer of the phone being delivered since it asks senders to list down all the details. While there wasn’t any strong reason or law stated, it’s clear that FedEx has misinterpreted the ban and just didn’t want to deal with any kind of repercussions later.Read more on the Huawei ban saga:Huawei claims to have shipped one million devices with its proprietary HongMengOSHuawei's goal of becoming top smartphone seller in Q4 2019 now pushed forwardHuawei ban: Qualcomm, Intel, Samsung invest in US-based chipmaker company SiFiveGlobal smartphone sales in 2019 to see a 3.1 percent dip due to Huawei ban: CanalysUS prosecutors ask judge to reject Huawei's motion for seeking information on its lead defense lawyerHuawei is now facing lawsuit in the United States for corporate espionageHuawei could possibly launch the Mate 30-series with Kirin 985, HongMeng OSHuawei's Android license revoked: What it means for existing Huawei and Honor phone usersIntel and Qualcomm join Google in cutting off ties with Huawei following Trump banAfter Huawei blacklist, 'Boycott Apple' campaign gaining steam in China: ReportGerman chipmaker Infineon suspends shipments to Huawei after US trade blacklistHuawei is reportedly releasing its own Android alternative called IndeoenOS this fallHuawei accuses US of bullying, says working with Google to respond to banHuawei doesn't mention Android at its new Honor 20 series smartphone launch eventHuawei's trade ban by the US could advance local Chinese chip suppliersHuawei CEO Ren Zhengfei claims the US's 90-day reprieve does not bear 'much impact'Some Huawei Mobile users are considering a switch after Google suspensionHuawei claims to have shipped 100 million smartphones this year till the end of May
