DJI sues the FCC over its prohibition on importing new foreign-made drones into the US — Chinese firm contests its placement on the regulator's 'covered list'

DJI, a prominent Chinese drone manufacturer, is taking legal action against the FCC for its ban on importing new foreign-made drones into the US, which includes DJI. The company contests its placement on the FCC's "covered list" of national security threats, arguing that no specific threat has been identified. Despite being labeled a 'Chinese Military Company' by the Pentagon, DJI has not faced criminal or civil trials related to national security concerns. The ban prevents DJI from obtaining regulatory approval for new drone models, effectively halting their sale in the US.
