On May 24, the US express company diverted two parcels addressed to Huawei from Japan to the United States and also attempted to reroute two more parcels sent from Vietnam to Huawei offices elsewhere in Asia without authorization.

The incidents are said to be in violation of China's regulations on express delivery.

FedEx claimed the packages were "misrouted in error" with no requests from any other party involved.
