Nvidia plans to begin shipping its H200 artificial intelligence chips to China by mid-February, pending approval from Chinese regulators, according to sources cited by Reuters.
The initial deliveries would be filled from existing inventory and could total 40,000 to 80,000 H200 chips.
Nvidia has also told Chinese customers it may add new production capacity in 2026. The timeline remains uncertain and depends on government approval in Beijing.

The planned shipments follow President Donald Trump’s decision earlier this month to allow H200 sales to China with a 25 percent fee.
The move marks a reversal from the prior administration’s ban on advanced AI chip exports to China over national security concerns.
The H200 chip, though no longer Nvidia’s newest model, remains widely used for AI workloads. Chinese firms including Alibaba Group and ByteDance have expressed interest.
Chinese officials are reportedly weighing conditions to protect domestic chipmakers.
