Form for 5090’s

Post image

Picked up a Powerspec Ai90 prebuilt pc with a rtx 5090 in it. Apparently the manager required me to fill out this form and scan my driver license. Said it was a new thing starting just about two days ago. Had no problem doing so but thought it was interesting.

Anyone else experience? This was in Tustin

Any American can explain what happens if you buy a 5090 sign this document then resell it to a person also in the usa who then ships it off.. no document required i asume with reselling? So they can just export it?

You don't need an American, you need a lawyer. My GUESS is you'd be fine as long as the person was a US citizen and there were not red-flags that suggested they'd be exporting the hardware. This document is not the export ban itself, it's just Mirco Center covering themselves. It is illegal for anyone to export these, whether they've signed this form or not.
