FCC's foreign gadget bans: what's happening with drones, routers and robot vacuums
The US Federal Communications Commission is imposing de facto import bans on new Chinese-made drones, routers and robot vacuums. According to The Verge's roundup, the bans began with drones in December 2025 and expanded to routers, robots and power inverters, then to robot vacuums. The government cites national security but has offered no public evidence.
