This Tuesday saw Chinese drone company DJI file a suit against the FCC, following the agency’s recent decision to prohibit imports of the company’s new models, as well as imports from fellow Chinese company Autel.
In a statement, DJI underlined its reasons for filing suit with the FCC in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit.
“It carelessly restricts DJI’s business in the U.S. and summarily denies U.S. customers access to its latest technology,” said DJI. DJI happens to be the world’s largest drone manufacturer.

DJI wrote in a petition dated February 20th:
“Petitioners seek review of the Ruling on the ground that the FCC exceeded its statutory authority, failed to observe statutorily required procedures, and violated the Fifth Amendment when it purported to add DJI’s products to the Covered List. Petitioners respectfully request his Court hold unlawful, vacate, enjoin, and set aside the Ruling and grant any other relief that the Court finds proper.”
