Netherlands Partially Revokes ASML's Export License, Halting Key Chip Equipment Shipments to China
The Dutch government has partially revoked an export license for ASML, a leading chip machine manufacturer, preventing the shipment of some lithography systems to China. This follows U.S. export restrictions and affects a small number of Chinese customers. Despite this, ASML does not foresee a significant impact on its 2023 financial outlook. The move comes amid heightened scrutiny over semiconductor technology exports to China, with the U.S. imposing rules on ASML's exports that contain American parts. ASML has stated its commitment to complying with all applicable export control laws.
