PSA: Prepare for 100% Tariffs on Foreign Drones by 2027
***This is just a PSA, it is not intended to start political discussions, only to give people a chance to plan out purchases. There are other places for politics.***
The US gov just announced 10%-100% tariffs on foreign drones and components, with full implementation by February 2027.
Ive been through this a couple times now. As soon as I read the article, I put together an order for everything I could afford. From this point on, as retailers run out of stock, the chances of resupply go way down. Some will try to keep restocking until the last minute, but not for every product. Whatever is in-stock will keep going up in price between now and then so the retailers can understandably hedge profits for future operations. There is a chance that some of this is reversed, but it isnt guaranteed. No matter what, retailers will be more concerned for their futures, prices still havent gone down since this first started happening, only increased.
For example, even the cost of a Rush Tank Ultimate vtx on Amazon US increased $10 in ~1-2 months, before this announcement, so change has been accelerating regardless of policy. If you have a frame/camera/stack/etc that you like in the US, it would be good to buy as many as you need while you can. Remember, all our equipment is ultimately disposable, batteries die, transmitters/screens burn out, frames break. This is not financial advice.
