What is FCC certification

The full name of FCC is Federal Communications Commission. Established by the certification communication act in 1934, it is an independent agency of the US government and is directly responsible to Congress. The FCC coordinates domestic and international communications by controlling radio broadcasting, television, telecommunications, satellites, and cables. Many radio application products, communication products, and digital products are required to enter the US market and require FCC certification.

Does my product have to be FCC certified

FCC certification is a passport for products to enter the American market. Products can only be sold in the American market if they meet the corresponding FCC certification and affix the corresponding logo. For consumers, products with logos give them a high sense of security, and they only trust and are only willing to buy products with safety certification marks.

What happens if the product enters the U.S. without FCC certification

The U.S. Customs has strict control over FCC certification. Without FCC certification, the goods will not pass U.S. Customs.

What is the advantage

1. Enter the US market without worries
2. Consumers have a higher degree of recognition and peace of mind
