WASHINGTON, June 16 (Reuters) - The U.S. Federal Communications Commission said on Tuesday it will allow new models of Chinese toy drones to be imported into the United States.

In December, the FCC said it was barring imports of all new models of foreign-made drones and critical components including from China's DJI and Autel 688208.SS, saying they pose unacceptable risks to U.S. national security. The FCC has since allowed for the import of some new models of drones.

The FCC said it was acting on a Pentagon determination that national security risks are not posed by "unsophisticated, low-risk toys" and lack the "organic capabilities and features in range, endurance, sensing, payload, connectivity, and data collection and storage" found in traditional drones.
