On August 13, 2026, President Trump signed a Section 232 proclamation imposing a 100% tariff on foreign-produced drones exceeding 25 kg maximum takeoff weight, effective September 3, 2026.

Drones under 25 kg face a 25% duty, while secondary tariffs on critical components will take effect February 9, 2027.
