Huawei abandons a lawsuit against the United States for the seizure of equipment

Huawei on Tuesday abandoned a lawsuit against the U.S. Department of Commerce and other official bodies after the U.S. government returned a telecommunications equipment it had seized in September 2017. The lawsuit had been filed in June, separately from the demand that the Chinese manufacturer had brought against the general veto of your team in the country.

The seizure of the equipment included even servers, switches Ethernet and other telecommunications tools when they were going back to China after being tested in California, Huawei said. Almost two years later, the Chinese company filed the lawsuit because the government had not decided whether an export license was necessary.

"After a prolonged and unexplained seizure, Huawei decided to abandon the case after the US government returned the equipment, which Huawei sees as a tacit admission that the seizure was illegal and arbitrary," says Huawei statement.

The Commerce Department, which declined to comment, added Huawei to a blacklist after a decree issued in May by President Donald Trump who basically banned equipment from the Chinese manufacturer in any communications network in the United States.

The measures required that US companies obtain licenses to do business with Huawei, whose team it was a matter of national security concerns due to the link between the company and the Chinese government. These companies they must get licenses to sell anything to Huawei once the recently extended exemption ends.
