Global courier service company FedEx apologise for the error in delivering Huawei phones in US

Global courier service company FedEx Corp said an “operational error” caused a Huawei Technologies Co Ltd phone to not be delivered to the United States and the package delivery company apologised for the error, the Global Times reported on Sunday.

“FedEx can accept and transport all Huawei products except for any shipments addressed to listed Huawei entities on the US Entity List.”

China launched an investigation into FedEx Corp earlier this month over parcels delivered to the wrong address, without giving details about the deliveries in question.

The United States and China have been engaged in a trade dispute for months on issues such as tariffs, subsidies, technology, regulations and cyber security, among others, with Washington putting Huawei on a blacklist last month citing national security.
