Public Comment Window Opens on Foreign Drone Ban — Deadline May 11
May 11 deadline. If you fly commercially in the US, this is the one regulatory moment where your voice actually counts. The FCC is taking public submissions on whether DJI and other foreign drone makers stay on the Covered List, the ruling that's already kept several products off US shelves entirely. You don't need a lawyer. You need a paragraph explaining what DJI gear does for your business. Commercial operators, real estate shooters, ag drone pilots, first responder contractors: this is exactly the constituency the FCC needs to hear from, and the Drone Advocacy Alliance has made submission straightforward. File before May 11 or stop complaining about the US drone market.

US Drone Tariffs Hit 25–100% from September, FCC Eyes LiDAR Ban
US Section 232 tariffs on imported drones kick in September 3rd: 25% on sub-25kg drones (most DJI consumer and prosumer lines), 100% on drones over 25kg, thermal-integrated models, and docking stations. A separate FCC proposal (DA 26-758) could ban future imports of drones with integrated LiDAR for obstacle avoidance — explicitly naming the DJI Mini 5 Pro, Air 3S, Avata 360, and Neo 2. If the FCC adopts the proposal, a transition period of roughly 180 days would apply before any sales or import restriction takes effect. Drones already in private hands are unaffected by either measure.
