    Unless I’m misreading this, it doesn’t seem to be an EAR/ITAR issue. This sounds like your order tripped a system flag for being a possible distributor (which would violate their terms with the manus). I’d be surprised if a phone call wouldn’t get this resolved quickly.

    Stuff you wanted to know but were afraid to ask

    Stuff you wanted to know but were afraid to ask

    Signal diodes (contrast with power/rectifying diodes). Fast response for high frequency, logic, etc. It’s just a subcategory.

    Jlcpcb and tariffs

    The tariffs put forth as responses to various “emergencies” are citing IEEPA, which lower courts said was an overreach. Those are still in place as the appeals process plays out. Oral arguments start on November 5th at SCOTUS. This latest tariff is said to be in response to trade practices...
