The US had previously banned the sale of powerful chips used in areas like artificial intelligence (AI) to China under export controls usually related to national security concerns.
Security experts, including some who served during President Donald Trump's first term, recently wrote to the administration expressing "deep concern" that Nvidia's H20 chip was "a potent accelerator" of China's AI capabilities.
Nvidia told the BBC: "We follow rules the US government sets for our participation in worldwide markets."
It added: "While we haven't shipped H20 to China for months, we hope export control rules will let America compete in China and worldwide."
