The US Department of Commerce has given the green light for Nvidia to sell its H20 chips to China.

It is currently unclear how many licenses have been granted, to which companies Nvidia is permitted to export H2O, and what the value of the authorized orders is.

Reuters, citing a U.S. official, reported that the U.S. Commerce Department has begun issuing licenses to Nvidia to export its H20 chips to China, removing a major hurdle to the AI ​​giant's access to a key market.

An Nvidia spokesperson declined to comment on the information.

Meanwhile, a White House spokesperson did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Nvidia announced last July that it was applying to the US government to continue selling its H20 graphics processing unit (GPU) to China and had been assured that it would soon receive a license.

It is currently unclear how many licenses have been granted, to which companies Nvidia is permitted to export H20, and the value of the authorized orders. However, exports of other advanced Nvidia AI chips to China remain restricted.

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang has warned that the company's leading position could be jeopardized if it cannot continue selling in China, where developers are using chips manufactured domestically by Huawei Technologies.

Last month, the U.S. reversed its April 2025 ban on the sale of H2O chips to China.

Nvidia designed the H20 specifically for this market to comply with AI chip export control regulations – which were implemented during the administration of President Joe Biden.

Previously, in April 2025, Nvidia revealed that it expected to incur losses of $5.5 billion related to the restrictions.

In May 2025, Nvidia announced that its actual losses in the first quarter of 2025 were less than $1 billion as projected because the company was able to reuse some materials.
In the first quarter of 2025, Nvidia reported that its H20 chip generated $4.6 billion in revenue, with China accounting for 12.5% ​​of total revenue during the period.

Washington's policies have limited American companies' ability to fully meet the booming demand from China, one of the world's largest semiconductor markets. This billion-person market remains a crucial source of revenue for American chip manufacturers.
