""If the router Conditional Approval process follows a similar pattern, Chinese-origin manufacturers like TP-Link may face a presumptive denial, while companies with manufacturing in allied nations like Taiwan, Vietnam, or South Korea could find an easier path.""
""Existing channel stock of previously authorized models may last three to six months, creating a window during which the market can absorb the disruption, but that window closes if the approval process proves as restrictive or slow as the drone precedent suggests.""
""The system introduces a structural advantage for the largest firms because documentation and onshoring obligations are extensive and smaller manufacturers and startups may lack the resources to navigate the process.""
Chinese drone companies DJI and Autel have not received exemptions for router approvals. The Global Electronics Association report indicates that Chinese manufacturers may face presumptive denials, while those from allied nations could have easier paths. TP-Link, having relocated to the US, hopes for an exemption but may still encounter challenges. The report emphasizes the importance of fast approvals for router supply, noting that existing stock may only last a few months. The approval process may favor larger firms due to extensive documentation requirements, disadvantaging smaller manufacturers.
