Can the Zeroth Robotics Zeroth M1 be imported and sold in the United States?
Lawful from existing stock only
Over the 4.4 lb line and foreign produced, so no new authorization is possible. Existing authorized stock is lawful to sell, and it is finite. Weight on record: Certainly over the line at 19.4 inches.

We searched and found no US authorization record. Absence of a record is itself the finding, and it is why the platform reads the way it does below.
The highest risk item we looked at. Every source traces back to CES publicity in January 2026 and we found no post-ship review or delivery confirmation. It is over the weight line, foreign produced on the available evidence, and would have needed a fresh authorization after 28 July 2026. Verify an FCC ID and grant date before touching 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.

The ground robot rule is conjunctive: a device is covered only if it is foreign produced AND over 4.4 lb including any dock or charging base. Almost every desktop, companion and kit robot sits under that line, which puts it outside the rule entirely. Weight is therefore the fact that decides this tier, and where it is unpublished we confirm it against a supplier spec sheet before quoting.

Nothing on this page is legal advice. Status reflects public records on the compiled date and can change, including by revocation of a grant that was valid the week before.
