If I understand correctly, this doesn't ban the import/sale of drone models which the FCC previously approved. That said, in October 2025 the FCC granted itself the authority to retroactively revoke previously-approved models, so this is something they could still potentially do.
It bans the import, but not sale of models the FCC has previously approved.
Your originally quoted text explicitly disagrees with you: "This update to the Covered List does not prohibit the import, sale, or use of any existing device models the FCC previously authorized."
Mea culpa. I've been reading some reporting earlier in the day. Trying to find verification for the claims I see that it was wrong.
Which is better than it could be, all things considered.
