FCC Cracks Open the Door for Chinese Toy Drones — But the Gap Is Too Narrow Even for the DJI Neo
The FCC has announced a limited exemption allowing certain Chinese toy drones to be imported into the US, but the qualifying criteria are so restrictive — under 150g, no camera, no connectivity, 100m range, 10-minute flight time — that even DJI's lightest model, the 135g Neo, fails to qualify. In practice, all current and future DJI and Autel models remain locked out of the US market.
