Import Tips & Compliance

Obtain FCC certification and test reports proving signal generator functionality to avoid misclassification as general test equipment

Include detailed technical specs and user manuals in documentation to confirm it meets 'signal generators' definition under HTS 8543

Verify export controls from origin country as high-end RF generators may require BIS licenses for dual-use technology
