FEDEX Corp. said an “operational error” caused a Huawei Technologies phone to not be delivered to the United States and the package delivery company apologized for the error, the Global Times reported yesterday.

“FedEx can accept and transport all Huawei products except for any shipments addressed to listed Huawei entities on the U.S. Entity List,” FedEx said in a statement.

China launched an investigation into FedEx Corp. earlier this month over parcels delivered to the wrong address, without giving details about the deliveries in question.

Xinhua had said back then that the investigation into FedEx over misdirected mail should not be regarded as retaliation against the U.S. company.(SD-Agencies)
