Radio Frequency Devices

Important: If you supply products for sale on Amazon, you must comply with all federal, state, and local laws and Amazon policies applicable to those products and product listings.

You are generally permitted to sell radio frequency devices that (1) are legal for sale, (2) operate in accordance with their authorization, (3) comply with applicable industry standards, and (4) do not interfere with other electronics.

In the United States, the Federal Communications Commission (“FCC”) regulates electronic devices that can emit radio frequency energy (“radio frequency devices,” or “RF devices”). These devices have the potential to interfere with authorized radio communications, and must be authorized under the appropriate FCC procedure before they can be marketed, imported, or used in the United States.

Examples of devices that require FCC authorization include, but are not limited to:

Wi-Fi devices
Bluetooth devices
Mobile phones
Electronic tablets and other devices with cellular connectivity
Two-way radios and walkie talkies
Automatic identification system (AIS) devices
Broadcast transmitters
Signal boosters

RF devices offered for sale on Amazon must be authorized using the appropriate FCC equipment authorization procedure. For more information, please see https://www.fcc.gov/oet/ea/rfdevice and https://www.fcc.gov/general/equipment-authorization-procedures.
