Can the DJI Mavic 4 Pro, Mini 5 Pro, Air 3S, Neo 2, Mavic 3 series be imported and sold in the United States?
Lawful from existing stock only
Authorized before the 22 December 2025 cutoff, so it is lawful to sell from existing stock. It cannot be restocked, because no foreign aircraft can receive a new authorization.

We loaded the grant record ourselves from the official FCC equipment authorization database.
Lawful to sell from stock authorized before the cutoff. Not restockable: no new authorizations, and CBP has detained DJI shipments under the forced labor presumption since October 2024. The Mini 5 Pro, Air 3S and Neo 2 are named in reporting as exposed to the LiDAR prong of the proposed retroactive ban. Treat this inventory as a wasting asset with a real clock on it.
Who can buy it, and with what money
Two different gates. Whether a platform may be sold at all is set by FCC authorization and binds everyone. Whether a particular buyer may spend a particular kind of money on it is set by procurement law and binds public money only. The same machine can pass one and fail the other.

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.
