WASHINGTON, June 17, 2026 — The Federal Communications Commission said on Tuesday it will allow new models of Chinese ​toy drones to be imported into the U.S.

The FCC made the determination after the Department of War identified certain models as “unsophisticated, low-risk toys” that did not pose an “unacceptable risk” to U.S. national security.
