DJI Denies Mavic 4 Pro to U.S.

Exactly as I predicted, while everyone else was more concerned about effect of tariffs on the price, ignoring the already existing import ban on DJI drones.

Since U.S. Customs holds on all DJI imports still haven't changed over the last 7 months, the price of the Mavic 4 Pro is completely irrelevant in the U.S., and so are the tariffs.

However, a quick trip to Canada or Mexico can still score you one, if you are willing to forgo the limited warranty, which is void in the U.S., as would be any claim under DJI Care Refresh.

DJI could certainly also prevent you from flying one in the U.S., if they chose to, but no mention in the press release of an NFZ covering the entire U.S. for the Mavic 4 Pro.

So, if you buy one elsewhere, you can still fly it and use it in the U.S., and will be only one of a handful of U.S. owners. This begs the question of whether it would be legal to fly a drone smuggled in from another country, and whether the FAA would allow registration of it. Hmmmm…
