THE us government is stopping imports of some DJI (Da-Jiang Innovations) drones from entering the US, the Shenzhen drone maker, reports told Reuters.
In a previously unreported letter seen by Reuters, DJI notified distributors that US Customs and Border Protection is citing the Uyghur Forced Labour Prevention Act (UFLPA) in withholding some drones from being imported into the US.
DJI, which sells more than half of all drones in the US, said no forced labour is involved at any stage of its manufacturing process. It told Reuters it was providing customs with documentation verifying its compliance with UFLPA.
DJI said in its letter the action appeared to be 'part of a broader initiative by the Department of Homeland Security to scrutinize the origins of products, particularly in the case of Chinese made drones.'
