Still in the dealer channel from pre-cutoff stock. These are thermal aircraft, so they sit inside the proposed military grade marketing ban and face the 100 percent tariff annex from 3 September 2026. Autel exited consumer in July 2025.
Who can buy it, and with what money

Foreign produced. Public agencies cannot spend public money on this, and Florida, Tennessee, Arkansas, Mississippi, Connecticut and Nebraska have their own statutory restrictions. You may still lawfully own one with private money.

Drones sit under a different and earlier action. On 22 December 2025 the FCC added all foreign-produced uncrewed aircraft systems and their critical components to the Covered List, with no weight gate. Aircraft authorized before that date remain lawful to sell from stock but cannot be restocked. American and allied aircraft on the Blue UAS Cleared List are exempt through 1 January 2028, and are the only aircraft a public agency can buy with grant money.
