Regulations for Importing 3D Printers into the United States
There are a few things to consider when importing 3D printers into the United States, including classification and FCC certification.
Classification:
The HTS Code for 3D printers and their parts is 8477. It is important to correctly classify these products to determine the applicable duty rate, regulations, and other requirements.
FCC Certification:
If your 3D printer has built-in Bluetooth or wireless capabilities, it may be regulated by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). In this case, the manufacturer will need to register for an FRN and grantee code, and the product will need to be tested and certified by an authorized testing facility.
If the 3D printer does not have radio frequency capabilities, a disclaimer may be needed. Your customs broker can assist with this process.
It is always a good idea to consult with your customs broker for additional guidance and assistance with importing 3D printers into the United States.
