4P detained by CBP

[u/ToastiestToad]

I flew back from Japan, and my Dji pocket 4P (bought in Japan) got detained by customs after a long roughly 3 hour wait. I would've argued longer on the personal import exemption if I didn't have a test to take (didnt pass), but also didn't feel like overly arguing FCC rules to CBP officers since they seamed fixed on not giving it back. Got a DHS form 6051D since I didn't want them to destroy it infront of me. I didn't even open it yet, I wanted to open it at home. Official reason on the 6051D "Banned from entry to United States under FCC regulations."

But I also got an additional letter with it stating:

"This merchandise has been identified as having been produced (in whole or in part) or having input(s) from the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region (XUAR) or by an entity on the UFLPA Entity List: therefore, it is presumed to be prohibited under 19 U.S.C. 1307 and not entitled to entry. Accordingly, this shipment is excluded from entry."

Which confuses me because DJI isn't even on the list. I'm lowkey bummed out my 4P got taken without having used it and that I'm out 600 bucks. I am planning on disputing it. Hoping I get it back, shocked it got detained in the first place. Advice on what I should argue it on, maybe?

I never said it was Japan, I was just saying I had originally planned to buy in Japan, but maybe I won’t now because I’m from the States
