Huawei says it is reviewing its relationship with the FedEx courier service after packages destined for addresses in Asia were redirected to the United States without explanation. Reuters reports that two packages sent by Huawei offices in Japan and addressed to colleagues in China have been diverted to the United States. Huawei also claims that FedEx has attempted to redirect two more packages sent from Vietnam to the United States.

FedEx reportedly stated that this was an error and an isolated issue. However, Huawei claimed that its trust in the company had been undermined.
