> I suspect these export restrictions are less black-and-white than you imagine Oh I agree wholeheartedly. But that also is a risk, because if its not binary its much harder to prove that you didn't know the ultimate destination. There are direct sales to high volume customers, like meta, aws, HP, Dell et al, then there are sales to large resellers. Those will all do due diligence checks to make sure that its not going to china. Then there is the channel which are smaller players that either buy smaller volumes (ie a few thousand) or buy from resellers. whilst nominally those companies are vetted and audited, there are lots of them, so its perfectly possible to buy from lots of channel partners and avoid suspicion
