In October 2019, the US Commerce Department placed Dahua and 27 other companies on an Entity List that specifies license requirements for certain types of transactions primarily involving the export of technologies from the United States. The Entity List is not a ban. It does not impose restrictions on Dahua’s ability to export, market or sell products into the United States.
Certain states have restricted the use of Dahua products on state-owned or managed devices and networks. Already, most—if not all—entities impacted by such actions are restricted from purchasing Dahua products under certain provisions in the 2019 NDAA, since they receive federal funding.
Dahua Technology employs over 100 people in the U.S. We are legally authorized to conduct business with any American individuals, businesses or organizations.
