 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  importers  of  radio  frequency  (RF)  devices  into  the  United  States  are  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  February  18,  2003,  the  Commission  may  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  imported  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  may  be  required  is: 


 8472.90.8000 
 This  number  will  aid  the  U.  S.  Customs  Service  and  the  Commission  in  identifying  devices  henceforth  identified  as  “other  printing  machines”  that  may  be  subject  to  the  Commission’s  regulations  regarding  the 
 importation  of  RF  devices.
