Reuters) - ZTE Corp and the U.S. government are still working on an escrow agreement that must be completed and funded with $400 million before a ban on the Chinese company can be lifted, a U.S. official told Reuters on Tuesday.
The Commerce Department official, who declined to be identified, emphasized that working out the escrow agreement was part of a "normal process."
ZTE agreed to pay a $1 billion penalty and put the $400 million in an escrow account in a U.S. bank as part of a settlement agreement reached on June 7 to allow it to once again do business with U.S. suppliers.

The escrow account is designed to allow the United States to obtain the money in case ZTE violates the settlement. An escrow agreement would define the terms by which the company deposits the money and the conditions under which it could be released.
ZTE paid the $1 billion civil penalty last week, according to people familiar with the matter.
An escrow agreement, which defines the conditions under which the money could be released, was in the process of being finalized, sources told Reuters on Friday.
ZTE is hopeful the $400 million can be deposited on or before Monday, one person familiar with the matter said on Friday.
The company paid the $1 billion penalty last week, Reuters reported on Tuesday, citing sources.

US senators are working on a potential deal with President Donald Trump that would allow the Chinese telecommunications company ZTE Corp to stay in business, as he wishes, if there are tighter restrictions on the use of its products on national security grounds, according to people with knowledge of the discussions.
The changes, which would be made to an amendment in a defence appropriations bill approved by the Senate last week, include prohibiting US government agencies from buying ZTE products, according to the people, who asked not to be named because they are not authorised to speak publicly on the matter.

The senators’ deal with Trump, the sources said, would also ban ZTE from selling software or hardware in the US that could be used in critical technology or infrastructure assets.
