Huawei sues US Commerce Department for equipment seizure

WASHINGTON -- China’s tech giant Huawei filed a lawsuit on Friday against the US Department of Commerce over its unlawful seizure of Huawei’s telecommunication gear shipped to the United States for a testing.

華盛頓——周五，中國科技巨頭華為起訴美國商務部，指責其送往美國檢測的華為電信設備被非法扣押。

The court filing showed that Huawei shipped several pieces of telecommunications equipment, including a computer server and an Ethernet switch from China, to an independent testing lab in California to undergo certification testing in 2017.

法院文件顯示，華為此前從中國向加利福尼亞州的一家獨立測試實驗室運送了幾件電信設備，包括一台計算機伺服器和一台乙太網交換機，準備在2017年進行認證測試。

In September that year, the US government seized the equipment in Anchorage, Alaska when they』re sent back to China, according to the filing.

然而2017年9月，在運送回國的途中，美國政府在阿拉斯加州安克雷奇（Anchorage）扣押了這兩台設備。

Huawei said that it had been waiting for nearly two years for a decision by the US Commerce Department on whether those equipment can be moved back to China.

華為表示，已經等待了近兩年，但美國商務部依然未表示是否可以將這兩台設備運回中國。

At the time of the shipment, no licenses were required under the US Export Administration Regulations for those gear and they were made outside the United States, according to Huawei’s lawyers.

據華為律師稱，在裝運設備時，根據美國出口管理條例，這些設備不需要許可證，因為它們是在美國境外生產的。

The US government "unlawfully withheld and unreasonably delayed" their responsibility to make a license determination as the equipment "remains in a bureaucratic limbo in an Alaskan warehouse," according to the filing.

法院文件稱：美國政府「非法扣留設備並且不合理地推脫責任」，至今未下達出口許可證決定，致使設備「滯留在安克雷奇倉庫中，無人管轄。
