新加坡警告：严控第三方转口违规！

This follows a Wall Street Journal report in March that Chinese buyers were successfully ordering Nvidia’s newest Blackwell Al chips through third parties in nearby regions, with traders saying they used ‘entities registered outside of China to purchase Nvidia servers from companies in aces such as Malaysia, Vietnam and Taiwan.’

Last month, Malaysian Trade Minister Tengku Zafrul Aziz told CNBC that his country would take ‘necessary action’ against any domestic companies involved, questioning why the chips would be leaving Singapore in the first place, since ‘the chips are not meant to be in Malaysia’.

Singapore’s advisory warns businesses that ‘engaging in illicit practices can lead to legal, operational and reputational consequences,’ and that authorities will take action against companies or individuals engaged in ‘fraudulent or dishonest practices to evade export controls that they are subject to.’

To mitigate risks, the notice encourages businesses to implement robust internal compliance programmes including Know Your Customer practices, end-user screenings and order screening procedures to identify potential red flags such as abnormal shipping routes.

Singapore, a major global hub for semiconductor manufacturing and trading, has positioned itself as maintaining a neutral stance while adhering to international obligations. The advisory emphasises that Singapore will ‘continue to uphold our reputation as a global hub for technology and trade, safeguard the integrity of our business environment, and support continued access to leading edge technology for legitimate companies operating here.’
