The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has proposed fines of $25,000 each for eight companies suspected of circumventing the United States' foreign drone ban by acting as front companies for DJI. These companies include Cogito Tech and Fixaxo Technology. The FCC has given these firms until July 20, 2026, to respond to its inquiries before further action is taken. This follows previous reports of companies like Xtra and Skyrover allegedly facilitating the import of DJI products into the US despite the ban.
