After December 23rd will online store still be able to sell existing inventory?

It just dawned on me that the ban looks like it specifically lists importing of new drones into the United States. Does that mean brick and mortars and places like Amazon will be able to continue to sell existing stock after December 23rd assuming the band goes into effect, which it looks pretty certain to do.

Trying to plan for what I will need over the next year plus if I have a drone failure. I really don't want to go to another company as nothing is even close in price and performance to the DJI products. I use my drone a couple times a month professionally. I would prefer not to have to buy too many backup drones that may never get used, but I also don't want to be stuck.

Nobody knows at this point since a ban isn't guaranteed, and even if it happens, it's not clear what would be included. You'll probably have to wait until the 23rd to know for sure.

I Think, You will be able to purchase existing stock because the ban will only effect the importation of the Drone NOT the sell. If the stores "existing stock" is in a warehouse outside the country....Thats gonna be a problem.
If you are gonna want to use exclusively DJI then you are gonna need to purchase a backup.
