FCC targets shell companies suspected of smuggling DJI drones into the US
The agency is acting against Xtra and Skyrover, two companies suspected of helping DJI evade the US foreign drone ban.
The FCC is acting against at least two companies suspected of fronting for DJI to evade the US foreign drone ban. Xtra reportedly channels DJI cameras into the US market, while Skyrover appears to sell DJI drones under a different label.
DJI is suspected of creating multiple front companies to bypass the restrictions. The FCC's move suggests a broader enforcement push against the entire scheme.
