On August 13 (local time), the White House announced that President Trump had signed a proclamation to impose ad valorem tariffs, ranging from 10% to 100%, on imported drones and their parts and components, citing national security concerns as the rationale. Specifically, drones and components of certain sizes or functionalities will face a 100% tariff. Small-sized drones and their components will be subject to a 25% tariff. Meanwhile, drones and components from some allied countries will incur a 15% tariff, and those from the UK will be levied at a 10% tariff rate.
