# BIS imposes October 2022 advanced-compute export controls affecting NVIDIA

Date: 2022

## The fact

On 7 October 2022 the US Bureau of Industry and Security imposed advanced-computing export controls that immediately constrained NVIDIA’s A100/H100-class China sales, a completed licence instrument Huang’s firm then redesigned chips around.

## Context

Neighbouring A100 is the constrained SKU. Neighbouring 2023 tighter rule is later. He did not write the EAR.

A100 2020 is neighbouring product. BIS 2023 is later tightening. H20 2025 is later bargain.

[Jensen Huang](/people/jensen-huang) has been NVIDIA’s co-founder and CEO since April 1993. He does not write a BIS Entity List, a Commission DMA article, a TSMC fab act, a Chinese CAC circular, or a French Autorité decision. A GTC keynote is not a completed export licence. A subpoena is not a conviction. CUDA is not a court finding of monopoly unless a court so found. TSMC fabricates; hyperscalers buy; Beijing and Washington write the licence. Keep those dates separate. A Greenpeace cake is not a unique ppm. A DOE supercomputer is not a unique arsenal coefficient as his personal tally.

## Evidence and sources

United States Bureau of Industry and Security carries the official instrument or communique. Reuters records the same dated act independently.

## Significance

## What is established and what is not

Established: 7 October 2022 BIS advanced-compute rule, independently reported as hitting NVIDIA.

Not established: that he drafted the rule, or a unique later Chinese-model coefficient from the Federal Register.

What would change the picture: a contradictory original with a different date or name, a later repeal, a court that vacated the instrument, or a measured series that can be argued, with lag and alternatives, as a consequence of this instrument rather than of later institutions.

The date is the date of this instrument, not a licence to back-date every later harm or benefit.

He was CEO of the constrained exporter. China buyers lost SKUs. He later designed H20-class parts as neighbouring products.. A later repeal, court stay, or successor order would be a different Fact with a different date. That pair identifies BIS imposes October 2022 advanced-compute export controls affecting NVIDIA, not a later speech about BIS imposes October 2022 advanced-compute export controls affecting NVIDIA.

Co-authors and later implementers named in Context remain on the file. BIS imposes October 2022 advanced-compute export controls affecting NVIDIA on 2022-10-07 is not a licence to treat every later United States Bureau of Industry and Security communique as this same act. If a later repeal, stay, or successor instrument exists, it needs its own date and its own row. This dossier refuses to average BIS imposes October 2022 advanced-compute export controls affecting NVIDIA into a personality. The contribution described on this Person row is limited to BIS wrote the rule. He was CEO of the constrained exporter. China buyers lost SKUs. He later designed H20-class parts as neighbouring products. That limit is the alternative to treating office-holding as authorship of every later series.
