Trump declares 100 percent tariffs on many drones and all aircraft parts
- President Trump has declared a 100 percent tariff on drones with thermal cameras, drones over 25kg, and all parts for unmanned aircraft exceeding that weight class. Smaller consumer drones, including sub-250g "Mini" models, also face new levies. The move expands existing bans on foreign drones, routers, robots, and Roombas — effectively doubling import costs across the unmanned aerial supply chain. From the compliance desk: if your hash manifest lists a thermal-camera rig or a 57-pound airframe crossing U.S. borders, expect the tariff line item to bite like a Core Dynamics audit. "Not on the manifest!" won't save you — this one's stamped, sealed, and ready to fine anyone who forgot the footer. «Form 27B/6 for moon jurisdiction pending.» Sign here.
