 Adjustment  to  the  list  of  Harmonized  Tariff  Schedule  (HTS)  Numbers  that  require  the  filing  of  the  electronic  version  of  the  FCC  Form  740 


 Under  Part  2,  Subpart  K  of  the  Commission’s  rules  anyone  importing  radio  frequency  devices  into  the  United  States  is  required  to  declare  the  conditions  under  which  such  devices  are 
 imported.  Importers  are  also  responsible  for  determining  when  declarations  are  required.  To  assist  importers  who  use  the  U.  S.  Customs  Service  electronic  filing  process,  the  FCC  provides 
 the  Customs  Service  with  a  list  of  HTS  numbers  of  particular  interest  to  the  FCC. 


 As  of  September  15,  2002,  the  Commission  will  require  an  FCC  declaration  for  all  radio  frequency  devices  imported  under  the  HTS  number  below.  If  electronic  filing  is  not  available  in 
 an  area  or  if  a  particular  importer  is  unable  to  make  the  required  declaration  electronically,  the  required  declaration  is  to  be  made  on  the  FCC  Form  740:  Statement  Regarding  the  Importation 
 of  Radio  Frequency  Devices  Capable  of  Causing  Harmful  Interference.  The  HTS  number  for  which  an  FCC  declaration  is  now  required  is: 


 8517.11.0000 
 The  addition  of  this  number  to  the  list  of  items  for  which  an  FCC  declaration  is  required  will  aid  the  U.  S.  Customs  Service  and  the  Commission  in  identifying  and  preventing  the  illegal 
 importation  of  cordless  phones  into  the  United  States  that  are  not  approved  by  the  FCC  for  marketing  or  use  in  the  United  States.
