clearance from them.
    The FCC, working in conjunction with the U.S. Customs Service is 
responsible for the regulation of both authorized radio services and 
devices that can cause harmful interference. FCC Form 740 must be 
completed for each radio frequency device which is being imported into 
the United States, and is used to keep non-compliant devices from being 
distributed to the general public, thereby reducing the potential for 
harmful interference being caused to authorized communications.
    FCC Form 740 is submitted to the U.S. Customs Service and Border 
Patrol electronically or in paper format. The FCC Form 740 is not 
submitted to the Federal Communications Commission. When a violation is 
discovered, the FCC can issue a fine. If a product is suspected of 
illegal entry, the FCC works with U.S. Customs Service to resolve the 
issue.

Federal Communications Commission.

Deputy Secretary.
