Entry fees charged by U.S. customs Korea Mavic 4 Pro?

What app are you using? I am using AirSentinel. This app is not GPS dependent it only needs it to display the map at your location. When I turned my phone location off the map showed in the middle of Africa. As I moved it to US it shows the 1 for drones nearby guessing that is from the drone gps. It does not require any stats to transmit RID info. The location data is not in the RID info until home point. I was reading the RID with motors on 0 sats on RC from indoors. It is also showing that I haven't registered it, operator is uknown and next to the serial/RID it shows undeclared.

Sorry I meant using your phone with your drone so that RID works without throwing an error. My M3P had an RID error and I could launch, turns out my phone was connected to another device and it was “busy” but I quickly discovered the issue and once I re-connected, all is fine. I panicked for second because an unexplained RID issue is fatal and difficult for the user to repair and there are no US repairs…..
 
I can also confirm that my M4P, shipped from Japan, also has RID. Interestingly, It didn't activate when I turned on the drone, but as soon as I lifted off, it popped up on my phone. As reported above, it is the serial number of the drone.
Yes, RID is only broadcast after the motors are activated, and not by merely turning on the battery.

Curious about the shipment from Japan, though.

1. On the serial number sticker on the bottom of the box, is there any country code in brackets above the serial number, say for Japan, like the (KR) for Korea?

2. What are the last 5 digits of the UPC code on the sticker at the bottom right?

My Adorama one ended in 13549, while the Korean ones ended in 13488.

My stickers from Korea and Adorama look like this, with the serial numbers removed:

Is your Korean drone in FCC mode or CE mode? I have one arriving tomorrow and it is my understanding it should auto switch between the two but there is a warning on the description that says Korean models are CE only?
FCC mode

No distinction for country. Mine looks the same as the one you posted from Adorama.
 
Little late to the show but thought I share my own findings regarding this topic. I own a Korea purchased M4P and was wondering about RID functionality myself, making sure I am compliant flying it here in US. I did my own research on this topic and found that DJI drones, particularly those with built-in RID, typically broadcast their information using Wi-Fi Beacon or Wi-Fi NAN (Neighbor Awareness Networking). You can verify this by powering on the drone and checking (on your laptop or phone) for a Wi-Fi network that starts with "RID-" followed by a serial number. Mine shows this:

Another reliable way to confirm RID functionality is to check the DJI Fly app on your RC. The app performs a pre-flight self-test and will display a status message indicating whether the Remote ID is functioning correctly:

According to my findings, my drone fully supports RID broadcast, despite the fact that it was purchased from Korea.

Also, looking at the bottom of my box it shows that ASTM marking just as FlierX mentioned earlier:

Let me know what you think

Apparently Freddie the DJI International Support Rep, The Korean seller, and the 3 not so well informed YouTubers are mistaken. I just used AirSentinel drone scanner on both of my KR's and it detected them as soon as the motors came on. It listed the actual RID #, each was unique and the location. When I shut down the motors it went back to 0 detected. Tried it 3 times. Going to experiment more. I moved the map off my house so no crazies show up. There is already one at my house now.

So, I was playing with this AirSentinel app on my Android phone, and was able to locate my M4P flying, no issues! I wanted to see if it offers an option to show the drone pilot's location; and my understanding is that for that you need to be logged in with an approved account. I tried to sign up for such account, and it was asking me to fill out a form requesting organization name, address and organization type, offering options such as Local/State Government Agency, Local Law Enforcement, Local Fire Department, Utility Company an others. I am wondering if they are doing some sort of background check of such application, as anyone could fill out this info to whatever they want. My concern here is, I just would not want anyone with ill intentions to be able to access my location via this app to see where I am piloting my drone from.
