WASHINGTON, Feb 24 (Reuters) - Chinese dronemaker DJI said Tuesday it ‌has filed suit challenging ‌the Federal Communications Commission decision to bar ​imports of all of its new models and critical components including from China’s DJI and ‌Autel.

DJI said in ⁠a statement it had challenged the FCC decision ⁠in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit.

“It ​carelessly restricts ​DJI’s business ​in the U.S. ‌and summarily denies U.S. customers access to its latest technology,” the Chinese dronemaker said. The FCC decision in December meant ‌that DJI, Autel and ​other foreign drone ​companies ​will not be able ‌to obtain the necessary ​FCC approval ​to sell new models of drones or critical components ​in the ‌U.S but it can continue ​to sell existing versions.
