And if you are in the US, that corner is located in Canada.

Well, there is that difference in price...

You have to remember who their target market is. People who just want to fly their drones and not worry them being exposed to the environment. DJI could have brought the weight down for the Mini 5, it just wasn't enough of a concern for them to do so. That could be why RID is enabled for the...

Exiting the US would not protect a company from being sued. It's a lot harder to do, but the legal framework is in place. Exiting the US market doesn't prevent DJI from re-entering at a later date, in a different political landscape. IKEA and Suzuki both exited the US market, only to return...

That blanket statement is not entirely accurate. Congress has granted the president limited authority to impose tariffs in response to specific conditions. International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) authorizes the president to regulate international economic transactions during a...

Saying that you can detect those readings from 500m is not the same as actually doing it. In their own press releases, they use the terms "relatively short distance" I doubt that they can measure any of that with any accuracy or precision from 500m.

Not a "Magic Shield", but a legally enforceable contract. When you install the DJI Fly app, you'll agree to something that is either the following, or something close to it and There can be ways around it, such as the age of the drone owner and jurisdiction. In Texas, a minor was injured by...

I don't think that is always the case, but it can be a requirement for a specific agency. The Federal requirements are defined by NIST SP 800-88, and one option is to overwrite the data to eliminate recovery. That allows the media to be reused.

Who would you sue? Sales of new Care Refresh policies were halted because US Customs held up the refurbished drones that DJI supplies as replacements. The hold is related to concerns over compliance with the Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act, an act that DJI claims they are not violating...

I understood the point. You might have missed mine. US Customs will not lower the tariff for open box products. Are you seeing sellers labeling open-box drones as defective as a way of avoiding tariffs?

And you think that flying without RID is going to take you off their "radar"?

People should read the full story, not drone-focused excerpts from DroneXL. It's less about drones than how Olympic teams surveil each other and how this person was made the face of the scandal.

For customs valuation, tariffs apply to used equipment the same way they apply to new equipment. The key factors are the country of origin, the item's value, and how you are bringing it into the country.

You're right, I read the wrong page.

Opening and activating a drone would not bypass the tariffs. According to U.S. customs precedent, the tariff classification is based on the article "in the condition in which it is imported". Opening the box does not change the essential nature of the drone. For customs purposes, it remains a...
