FCC Officially Waives Import Declaration Requirements During ACE Transition

The Federal Communications Commission published a notice (here) in the Federal Register on the agency's plans to waive its Form 740 certification requirements for radio frequency (RF) devices imported between July 1 and Dec. 31, 2016. (see 1510200035). The temporary waiver allows time for the FCC to consider its proposal to eliminate importer declaration requirements entirely (see 1508110024), without imposing new burdens on importers that would otherwise be forced to file on paper once CBP's Automated Commercial Environment is required, the FCC said.
