Huawei sues U.S. government over seized equipment
Chinese tech giant Huawei filed a civil lawsuit against the U.S. on Friday, saying the Commerce Department mishandled equipment from the company it had seized in 2017.
The complaint alleges the U.S. government took several pieces of equipment that were being shipped from an independent testing facility in the United States to China in an effort to figure out if the products were subject to export controls.
Huawei claims it gave authorities the necessary documents to resolve the issue and that such disputes are typically solved in 45 days. The company said it believes its technology is still being held in Alaska nearly two years later.
The tech behemoth is asking the court to order the Commerce Department to determine whether the products fall under the purview of export controls and to release the equipment if not. It is not seeking any financial damages.
