The FCC is moving to prohibit companies from selling DJI products under alternative brand names. The action targets vendors suspected of circumventing restrictions on the Chinese drone manufacturer.
The Federal Communications Commission plans to crack down on distributors repackaging DJI drones and related equipment under different brand names, effectively sidestepping existing US restrictions on the company.
DJI, the world's largest consumer drone manufacturer, has faced increased scrutiny from US regulators over national security concerns related to its Chinese ownership. The FCC's enforcement action targets intermediaries acting as resellers who mask the true origin of products to maintain market presence.
Companies caught engaging in this practice face potential bans from US operations. The move represents an escalation in efforts to enforce restrictions already placed on DJI's direct sales and operations within the country.
The FCC has not yet released a full list of affected companies or a timeline for implementation. This action aligns with broader US government efforts to limit Chinese technology companies' market access.
