National Security Concerns Drive Unmanned Aircraft Systems Duties
The Trump Administration has imposed national security duties on imports of unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) and their parts and components. The move aims to address the national security threat posed by US reliance on foreign-sourced UAS and strengthen America’s UAS industry and supply chain. The tariffs, which range from 10% to 100%, will enter into effect on September 3, 2026. The action was reported by Pillsbury Winthrop Shaw Pittman LLP.
