GoKawiilUS imposes up to 100% tariffs on Chinese drones and key components
The Trump administration's new tariffs took effect September 3, imposing rates as high as 100% on drones over 55 pounds, thermal-imaging models, docking stations, and critical parts like airframes and control boards. Smaller, less-capable drones and other components face a 25% rate, while allied nations such as the EU, Japan, South Korea, Switzerland, Taiwan and the UK get preferential rates of 10-15% if their supply chains are substantially domestic or American.
