The Drone Tariff Is Reshaping the Supply Chain. ZenaTech (Nasdaq: ZENA) Chose a Different PathNAPLES, FL, Sept. 1 - Earlier this month, the White House signed a proclamation that will impose tariffs of up to 100 percent on drones over 25 kilograms or equipped with thermal imaging, starting September 3, with a 25 percent rate on smaller drones and most components, and reduced rates of 15 percent for supply chains routed through allied nations, including Taiwan. For drone makers built on cheap offshore manufacturing, that is a supply chain problem.

Drones as a Service Are Turning Land Surveying into a Faster, Smarter, Lucrative BusinessNEW YORK, Aug. 20, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Market News Updates News Commentary - Land surveying has traditionally been a slow, labor-intensive process. Survey crews often have to cover large areas on foot, set up equipment, take measurements and then spend hours processing the information. Drones are changing that process. Equipped with high-resolution cameras, RTK/PPK positioning and LiDAR, drones can cover large areas quickly while collecting detailed data from above. That information can be turned into accurate maps, 3D models, elevation measurements and other survey data without requiring crews to spend as much time working in difficult or potentially dangerous terrain. The opportunity is already substantial, with the global mapping and surveying drone market estimated at approximately $3.23 billion in 2025 and projected to reach roughly $6.65 billion by 2033.
