FedEx Corp has apologized for returning a package which the sender said contained a Huawei smartphone, blaming an “operational error” as it works to comply with U.S. restrictions on business with China’s Huawei Technologies Co Ltd.

The error came less than a month after FedEx apologized for misdirecting packages sent between offices of Huawei. The telecom equipment maker subsequently said it would review its relationship with the U.S. delivery firm, while Chinese state media said authorities are investigating the matter.
