FedEx responds] FedEx refuses to sing to send Huawei phones to the United States

The hits continue to come to Huawei. Following the announcement of a US technology export ban, many Huawei vendors and partners around the world have concluded relationships with the company. Now you cannot even reliably send a Huawei phone. PCMag tried to send a P30 Pro from the United Kingdom to the United States and it was sent back to the sender because of the ongoing legal drama.

The PCMag UK office had the P30 Pro on hand, and the New York office needed it. If this were any other phone, sending it would be easy. However, PCMag's employees filled the shipping form honestly and listed the phone's model. The package left the UK via Parcelforce, part of the Royal Mail system. FedEx received the package in the US and five hours later it was returning to the UK with a note owed to the US government against Huawei.

This is absolutely ridiculous. Our British author tried to send us his @HuaweiMobile P30 device so that I could check something ̵[ads1]1; not a new phone, our existing phone, which was already held by our company, only shipped between offices – and this happened @FedEx pic.twitter.com/sOaebiqfN6

We at Android Police are not lawyers, but it does not seem to Be some legal reason FedEx could not provide a Huawei phone. This is just an example of extreme risk reduction. FedEx wants no part of anything that has the word "Huawei" on it. It's probably possible to just fill in the forms with generic terms like "used smartphone", but you shouldn't have to.
