Taiwan raids 12 locations in its first formal crackdown on Nvidia AI chip smuggling — hunts three fugitives for document forgery, fraudulent declarations in Super Micro smuggling case

Taiwan prosecutors raided 12 locations in a case involving suspected AI chip smuggling tied to forged shipping documents.

Authorities say about 50 Supermicro AI servers may have been routed to China, Hong Kong, and Macau through fraudulent declarations.

Three suspects are being sought for detention, signaling a tougher Taiwanese enforcement push on restricted AI hardware.

The case adds pressure on supply chains moving Nvidia-powered servers toward China amid tightening export controls.
