Can a DJI Drone Purchased in China be Used in the USA

[Greatsign1]

My wife is currently in China and I am wondering if she purchased a drone for me there whether I would have any problem operating it back here in the USA, anyone know?

A DJI drone purchased anywhere can be used anywhere.
But you would have problems with any warranty coverage that might be needed.

I was thinking that a drone purchased in China would not have the same Remote ID module that a model exported to the US would have. Would this cause and issue?

It's probably the same model as sold all over the world with the RID activated in countries where required just as the FCC/CE feature is.
I doubt you'll find any advantage purchasing there.

In my experience, identical consumer goods available in the States and China tend to cost more in China.

If it does not have RID or it does not work correctly, you'll just need to attach an external RID module.
