Rules governing Importation are found in: 47 CFR 2.1201 through 2.1207
"Importation of Devices Capable of Causing Harmful Interference"
___________________________________
Typical RF devices are microwave ovens, virtually any product
containing a computer microprocessor, telephones with memory
or advanced features, video cameras and recorders, radio
transmitters and transceivers, and most radio receivers including
television receivers.
When RF devices are imported into the United States, a declaration
is required that states how the equipment meets appropriate FCC
standards. This declaration is made on the FCC Form 740 or through
a means of electronic filing available to qualified filers through
the U.S. Customs Service. The Customs Service and the FCC work
together to enforce the importation declaration requirement.
FCC Form 740 "Statement Regarding the Importation of Radio Frequency
Devices Capable of Causing Harmful Interference" or the equivalent
declaration filed electronically through Customs must be filed for
each type of RF device represented in a shipment and each time a
shipment is imported into the customs territory of the United States.
A copy of the Form 740 must be attached to the Customs Service entry summary.
Information on equipment standards and equipment authorization
requirements is available in OET Bulletin number 61 entitled
"FCC Equipment Authorization Program for Radio Frequency Devices."
This bulletin is available for downloading from the FCC web at:
www.fcc.gov/oet/info/documents/bulletins
Form 740 is available from the Forms Contractor at 800 418-3676;
from the FCC web at www.fcc.gov/formpage.html or by fax-on-demand

your fax machine (the document retrival number is #3000740).
