The FCC banned new foreign-made drones, mainly from China, over security risks, effective Dec. 23, 2025.
The Federal Communications Commission has banned new foreign-made drones, including those from Chinese companies DJI and Autel, over national security concerns.
The decision, effective December 23, 2025, adds these drones and components to the FCC’s "Covered List," citing risks like unauthorized surveillance, data theft, and supply chain vulnerabilities.
While existing drones already in use can remain, future imports and sales are blocked unless cleared by the Pentagon or Department of Homeland Security.
The move follows a congressional defense bill and is part of broader U.S. efforts to reduce reliance on Chinese technology ahead of major events like the 2026 World Cup and 2028 Olympics.
DJI criticized the ban as lacking evidence and driven by protectionism, while U.S. drone makers see opportunity for growth.
