The US Department of Commerce has withdrawn its proposed rule on Chinese drone imports, easing fears of a sweeping ban. However, DJI and other major manufacturers remain blocked from introducing new models due to FCC restrictions.
DJI has filed a lawsuit against the US Federal Communications Commission after the agency added Chinese drones and related equipment to its Covered List, effectively blocking new sales and imports in the US. The move comes amid growing national security concerns over foreign technology imports, as outlined in the FY2025 National Defense Authorization Act.
