Are there any mandatory governmental or regulatory requirements on low power, radio frequency electronic devices imported into the Dominican Republic? I'm talking about things like restricted frequency bands, electromagnetic compatability requirements in Europe, FCC requirements in the U.S., etc.

If so, are descriptions of the requirements available on the interenet or through a governmental dept?

Any help in this area will be greatly appreciated.

If you read Spanish, try this link

jdavino,
If you can read Spanish, all existing & currently formally proposed regs can be found in the webpages of Indotel, specifically the following:
http://www.indotel.org.do/site/marco_legal/index.htm
If you don't see what you need there, I would suggest contacting them directly through the contact info provided on the webpages. Good luck!
Best regards,
Keith

Regs

jdavino,
I don't know of a website that provides them in English (otherwise I would have suggested it). I think perhaps you need to contact the US Commerce Dept.'s Foreign Commercial Service people in the DR, either Commercial Specialist Isolda Frias for computers & telecom equipment at 809-227-2121 ext. 226 or isolda.frias@mail.doc.gov , or Senior Commercial Specialist Maria Elena Portorreal for some electronic components at 809-227-2121 ext. 225 or maria.elena.portorreal@mail.doc.gov
Either woman (or anyone else in the Commerce office in SD, for that matter) can be reached by fax at 809-920-0267.
They should be able to help you get the translations of the regs you desire, or at least point you to someone who can provide them.
Good Luck.
Best regards,
Keith
