DJI drone ban now in effect in the US: here is the list of DJI drones that can still be legally purchased in the US


As previously reported, today the U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has implemented a rule adding foreign-made drones and critical components to its “Covered List” due to national security concerns. This effectively prevents the import and sale of new DJI drone models (and those from other foreign manufacturers like Autel) that require new FCC authorization. However, the rule is forward-looking and does not ban or ground existing drones: all previously FCC-authorized DJI drone models remain fully legal to own, fly, buy (from existing stock), sell, and use in the United States.
There are no recalls, remote disables, or restrictions on operating drones you already own or purchase from current inventory. Retailers can continue selling stock of previously approved models until it’s depleted.

Essentially, all current and past DJI consumer and enterprise drone models are not affected by this rule regarding ownership or use. Popular examples include – as you can see, most of these models are no longer available for sale (check also B&H Photo DJI store):

Future unreleased or newly designed DJI models (or major new components) will not receive FCC approval for U.S. sale unless explicitly exempted by agencies such as the Department of Defense or Homeland Security.
