Import Tips
• Verify FCC certification for RF emissions as required for devices connecting to telephonic networks
• Include network compatibility declarations (e.g
• ADSL/VDSL standards) in documentation to avoid misclassification
• Watch for pitfalls in declaring as 'modems' vs 'routers' – ensure specs confirm telephonic line connection
