The Internet and social media are full of reports from customers who ordered the new Air 3S drone directly from the DJI website, and now their shipments are being blocked/hated by US Customs. I already reported that the latest drone is not yet listed for sale in the US (Adorama | Amazon | B&H), and ordering it directly from China will not solve the issue:
DJI Air 3S drone officially announced, not listed for sale in the US
Confirmed: the new DJI Air 3S drone is currently blocked by US customs
Reuters confirmed the reports online:
The U.S. government is stopping imports of some DJI drones from entering the U.S., the Chinese drone maker told Reuters on Wednesday.
In a previously unreported letter seen by Reuters, DJI notified distributors that U.S. Customs and Border Protection is citing the Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act (UFLPA) in withholding some drones from being imported into the U.S. DJI,which sells more than half of all drones in the U.S., said no forced labor is involved at any stage of its manufacturing process. It told Reuters it was providing Customs with documentation verifying its compliance with UFLPA. (Reuters)

DJI has a recent filing with the FCC for a new DJI Osmo 360 camera and accessories (currently, only Rioch, Insta360, and GoPro have 360 cameras):
The documents will be treated confidentially for 180 days, so we should expect the official announcement in the next few months.
There is a chance that the new DJI Osmo 360 camera will not be sold in the US, just like the latest DJI Air 3S drone:

I already reported that the new DJI Air 3S drone is not listed for sale in the US because of government regulations:
"The DJI Air 3S drone may not be available in the United States due to the Countering CCP Drones Act, which aims to address concerns about data security and potential ties between DJI and the Chinese government"
Now, DJI has posted this on their website:
"A customs-related misunderstanding is currently affecting DJI's ability to import select drones into the United States. This appears to be part of a broader initiative by the Department of Homeland Security to scrutinize the origins of products, particularly in the case of Chinese made drones.
...
The U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has cited the Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act (UFLPA), as the reason for the current holdups. This assertion made against DJI, however, is entirely unfounded and categorically false. There is no reason for CBP to be detaining DJI’s drones. (DJI)"
I do not think this is a misunderstanding. I think this is just the beginning of DJI drones being banned in the US.

Update: DJI sues the US Department of Defense for labeling it a "Chinese Military Company".

Rumors from China suggest that DJI and Huawei have partnered to work on a new camera system equipped with HiSilicon chips:
"According to Fast Technology on March 6, as two of the most shining representatives among Chinese technology companies, if Huawei cooperates with DJI to launch products, are you looking forward to it?
Some netizens revealed that Huawei may join hands with DJI to enter the SLR camera market, which will be equipped with HiSilicon chips. The combination of the two parties will have a strong impact on traditional SLR camera brands such as Nikon, Canon, Sony and other companies.
The leak mentioned that DJI has strong technical strength in the field of drones and will apply its unique advanced anti-shake technology and intelligent flight shooting mode to SLR cameras. Huawei has rich experience and technology in the field of mobile phone photography, which can bring better image quality and more convenient operation experience." (Google trwnslation from Mydrivers)
