On Saturday, I received what is likely my last small purchase shipment from China, a couple of batteries for my Insta X4. There are American sellers but much cheaper from China and free shipping. The package was ordered 10 days ago and arrived by USPS and while I have received thousands from overseas, this one has a USPS sticker completely covering the original sticker so you could not see any of the details. Normally they are side by side or partially covered but this one only had my address and the USPS tracking barcode....that's it, nothing else. Not sure what that means and it's hard to tell where USPS stands today on this topic but I have suspended any further small purchases from China since I won't know how it ships and if it will be held for customs or sent back or whatever. The uncertainty leave me unable to move forward for now unless it is a must-have. No plans to pay more to do business with a seller located elsewhere.

Can’t even get just the drone for under US$800

Even when you order a full kit or a fly more kit, lately it seems DJI has been splitting up shipments among the various carriers. This may be a strategy to avoid tariffs with some common carriers but it sounds like this is over for DJI at DHL HK which is as you mentioned appears to be the drone only package.

I guess some HK / Chinese companies under mark the value of shipments too, but I read the US customs have cottoned on to this
