I. Core restrictions on international transportation

1. Technical compliance barriers

Electromagnetic compatibility certification: EU CE-EMC Directive, US FCC Part 15 standard (DJI Mavic 3 was temporarily detained due to excessive radio frequency)

Privacy protection clauses: GDPR encryption requirements for aerial data transmission (storage modules that meet the AES-256 standard must be pre-installed)

2. Physical transportation ban

Transportation method Main restrictions Typical cases
Air freight Lithium battery UN38.3 certification (energy ≤100Wh/piece) SF Express cross-border logistics requires disassembly of batteries for separate transportation
Sea transportation Magnetic shielding packaging of the entire machine (anti-radar detection) Middle East routes require a non-military use statement

3. Geopolitical red lines

Five Eyes Alliance countries: “Verifiable flight recorder black box” must be pre-installed (Australia’s new regulations in 2024)

Conflict areas: Automatically trigger GNSS restricted flight zones (such as the entire territory of Ukraine and 50km from the Israeli border)

II. Solutions for typical customs clearance obstruction scenarios

Scenario 1: Lack of lithium battery transportation documents

Response plan:

python

Common battery file generation logic for international logistics companies

if battery capacity > 100Wh:

Apply for dangerous goods transportation (DG) certificate + provide MSDS report

else:

Use UL1642 certified batteries + submit UN38.3 test report

Scenario 2: Suspected military use review

Required documents:

End User Commitment (End Use Certificate)

Supply chain traceability documents (proving that there are no Iranian/Russian parts)

III. Actual cases of leading enterprises
DJI’s global logistics strategy:

Regional warehouse layout:

Europe: Polish bonded warehouse (pre-installed CE certified firmware)

Americas: Maquiladora factory in Mexico (avoiding 301 tariffs)

Modular transportation solution:

Chart
Code

XAG agricultural drone breakthrough solution:

Cooperate with DHL to develop a “special channel for agricultural equipment” (exempt from some EMC tests)

Pre-installed AgROS operating system (locked maximum flight altitude ≤150 meters)

IV. Special requirements for emerging markets in 2024
Country Key restrictions Compliance skills
Brazil ANATEL mandatory certification (6-month cycle) Pre-register RFID flight tags
India 30% parts localization requirements Cooperation with TATA for SKD model assembly
Saudi Arabia Saudi standard SASO certification Pre-installed Arabic operating interface
V. Recommended risk control tools
Real-time compliance inspection system:

TradeRay drone export compliance platform (automatically matching HS codes and control lists)

Altana AI supply chain map (dynamically tracking the source of sensitive components)

Insurance innovation products:

Lloyd’s of London “Technology Export Liability Insurance” (covering fines for misjudgment of military use)

Sinosure “Long Tail Logistics Insurance” (protecting the risk of 180-day port detention)

Note: It is recommended to establish a “three-in-one” emergency mechanism:

Before: entrust Lingding Technology and other professional companies to conduct export compliance audits

During: stock up on replacement batteries/accessories at major ports

After: appeal through the WTO Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee
