> Obviously they are imported, that's the point.

"Imported" here only means that they crossed the border, not that they are being lawfully distributed in the US.

> Amazon and Newegg are US companies distributing imported Chinese Huawei phones.

Not true. Third party resellers are importing and selling some Huawei phones.

> ... show me where phones are banned.

Can you buy a Huawei phone from a retailer in the US? Amazon, Best Buy, Walmart? Or from a telecom? AT&T, Verizon, T-Mobile?

Huawei and ZTE have also both been banned from getting FCC licenses. You could definitely buy a Huawei phone in the US, but it wouldn't be licensed by the FCC.
