Malaysia to Require Permits on Trade of High-End US AI Chips
Malaysia will require permits for exports and transshipments of high-performance US artificial intelligence chips, suggesting the government is seeking to clamp down on the diversion of the sensitive components to places like China.
The license requires any individual or firm to notify authorities at least 30 days prior to exporting, transhipping or bringing in transit goods, if the individual or company knows or have reasonable grounds to suspect the item will be misused, or used for a restricted activity, the Ministry of Investment, Trade and Industry said in a statement on Monday. The policy is effective immediately.
