Moving NVIDIA AI servers and other advanced computing hardware across borders means working through U.S. export controls, and often a second country's import rules on top. Fitter Law prepares and files the work, country by country, for the buyers and distributors the large practices overlook.

Fitter Law is not part of the U.S. government, the Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS), or any export-control authority, and cannot influence or guarantee any government decision. License requirements depend on the specific item and parties and must be confirmed per transaction. Our role is to improve the odds of a successful, compliant export by identifying a transaction's strengths and weaknesses, preparing the supporting reports, and strengthening any application.
How the rules work now
U.S. controls on advanced AI chips run through the Export Administration Regulations, not the country-tier system many online guides still describe. Three points decide most transactions.
Advanced computing chips fall under ECCN 3A090 / 4A090 and the related .z items, covering NVIDIA H100- and H200-class accelerators, Blackwell-generation parts, and the servers built on them.
Country Group A:5 holds trusted partners such as India and, since July 2026, the UAE. Country Group D:5 holds China, Macau, and other prohibited destinations. A recipient controlled from a D:5 country needs a license wherever it sits.
The January 2025 “AI Diffusion” framework, with its country tiers, per-country GPU caps, and 1,700-unit allowance, was never enforced and has since been abandoned. We do not rely on it, and neither should your compliance plan.

Tell us the hardware, the destination, and the parties. We classify the item, determine whether a license is required, and prepare the filing or the compliance file that fits.
