The FCC just gave itself the power to make a DJI drone ban stick, allowing retroactive restrictions on gadgets deemed security risks. This means any DJI drones on the “Covered List” could be barred from the U.S., even if previously approved. The goal: protect networks from potential backdoors in Chinese-made tech.
Starting December 23, new DJI products could face automatic import bans unless cleared by a national security agency. Without FCC authorization for their internal radios, these drones can’t legally enter the U.S. market—a major hurdle for DJI and consumers alike.
DJI says no U.S. security agency has completed the review. The company urges authorities to act or grant an extension, emphasizing fairness, evidence-based decisions, and the protection of American jobs and innovation.
This FCC move sets a precedent. Any company deemed a national security risk could see its products blocked retroactively, reshaping the U.S. consumer electronics landscape. DJI may just be the first in line.
