The US Federal Communications Commission (FCC) is adding DJI to its “Covered List”, barring the importation of all new drone models from the Chinese drone maker

The FCC move, which does not affect existing DJI models, is a significant escalation in Washington's battle to crack down on Chinese drones

DJI telah memuat naik kenyataan rasmi terbaharu di media sosial berhubung perkembangan di Amerika Syarikat

The U.S. just banned foreign drone makers like DJI

FCC's announcement signals the end of DJI in the U.S

The oft-rumored ban of DJI drones in the US has now become reality, but the US government hasn't just banned sales of DJI drones

People can continue using the devices theyve already purchased, and retailers can keep selling models already approved by the agency. One of the most well-known brands affected by the ban is Chinese company DJI, which told Engadget it was disappointed by the agencys decision

By banning foreign-made drones, the US wants to ensure local companies rise to to the competition.

Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has announced that it will ban approvals for new foreign-made drones and critical components from being imported , marketed , or sold in the United States unless specifically cleared by the Department of Defense or Department of Homeland Security. This move fundamentally changes how drones built outside the U.S., including those from major manufacturers like DJI and Autel Robotics , can enter the American market.

The FCC has banned approval of new foreign-made drones and components, citing "an unacceptable risk" to national security. The move will most heavily impact DJI but it "does not affect drones or drone components that are currently sold in the United States." Reuters reports: The tech was placed on the commission's "Covered List," barring DJI and other foreign drone manufacturers from receiving the FCC's approval to sell new drone models for import or sale in the U.S
