Singapore has become a major hub for Nvidia chip orders, though less than 1% of Nvidia’s Singapore-billed sales last year went to chips that entered the country. Authorities are investigating whether Megaspeed and other firms misrepresented the destinations of servers linked to suspected efforts to provide Nvidia technology to Chinese companies; Singapore and U.S. investigations remain ongoing.
Key Facts
Singapore was Nvidia’s second-largest billing centre last year, accounting for nearly a fifth of the company’s revenue.
Less than 1% of Nvidia’s Singapore-billed revenue came from chips that entered Singapore.
Megaspeed, a Singapore data-centre company, became the largest buyer of Nvidia chips in Southeast Asia.
Authorities suspect Megaspeed provided Chinese companies access to Nvidia chips through data centres in Malaysia, Indonesia and Thailand.
Singapore said it began investigating in February 2025 whether Megaspeed and other firms made false declarations about servers bought and exported through Singapore.
Singapore requested information from U.S. authorities about Supermicro, which supplied servers to Megaspeed, but said it received limited help.
Singapore investigated Alice Huang for a possible role in suspected fraud involving Megaspeed, found insufficient evidence of crime and let her leave in February.
Singapore and U.S. investigations into Megaspeed are ongoing, and Singapore has not charged Megaspeed or people linked to the case.

Three former senior U.S. trade officials urged the U.S. Court of International Trade to strike down President Donald Trump’s 50 percent tariffs on Canadian goods and order refunds to importers. They argue that the administration used a 1930 law that Congress had effectively replaced with a trade law requiring investigations and public consultation.
Key Facts
Carla Hills, Alan Wolff and Warren Maruyama filed a legal brief on November 11 supporting a lawsuit against the tariffs.
The officials argue that Section 338 of the Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act of 1930 was superseded by Section 301 of the Trade Act of 1974.
Section 338 allows tariffs of up to 50 percent on imports from countries found to discriminate against U.S. commerce.
The lawsuit was brought by New Jersey-based food importer Gellert Global Group, represented by the Liberty Justice Center.
Trump announced additional 50 percent tariffs on nearly $20 billion in Canadian imports on July 20; they took effect on August 22 after a three-day delay.
The affected U.S. imports included wine, furniture, hockey equipment, clothing and machinery.
Canada imposed retaliatory tariffs of 15, 25 and 50 percent on U.S. imports starting September 8.
The former officials also argue that recent Supreme Court limits on presidential tariff powers should apply to Section 338.

A federal appeals court ruled that the U.S. Transportation Department wrongly withheld nearly $74 million in highway funds from New York over the state’s handling of immigrant commercial driver’s licenses. The court said New York could not be penalized for failing to revoke licenses under rules that were not in place at the time.
Key Facts
A three-judge panel of the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals found the federal agency’s penalty arbitrary, capricious, or contrary to law.
The penalty involved nearly $74 million in highway funds.
New York had declined to revoke nearly 33,000 commercial driver’s licenses that federal officials questioned after an audit.
The court said rules requiring cancellation when a driver lost legal status were not in place at the time.
New York issued some commercial licenses valid for eight years, regardless of how long the driver’s visa remained valid.
Federal audits found non-domiciled commercial licenses that remained valid after work permits expired or were issued without proper citizenship-status checks.
The Transportation Department said it had canceled 30,000 commercial licenses it considered illegally issued and removed about 26,000 drivers from the road for failing to demonstrate English proficiency.
