WASHINGTON, June 27 (Reuters) - The U.S. government has
extended through Aug. 30 a reprieve to Chinese smartphone maker
ZTE Corp 000063.SZ on the tough export restrictions it imposed
on the company in March, the Commerce Department said in a
public notice posted online Monday.
In March, the department hit the company with some of the
toughest-ever U.S. export restrictions for allegedly breaking
sanctions against Iran. At the time the agency offered the
company a three-month relief from the restrictions, which was
set to expire June 30.
