| 1 | Equipment Type Approval Requirement | The Telecommunications Authority of Fiji (TAF) mandates that all telecommunications equipment, including mobile phones, radio communication devices, and other ICT apparatuses connecting to telecommunication networks or transmitting radio waves, must undergo a type approval process before importation. | Permit Requirement | Telecommunications Authority of Fiji | This process helps prevent the entry of substandard or non-compliant devices that may interfere with network operations, public safety, or environmental health. Technically, it ensures interoperability with local networks and compliance with international benchmarks such as CE, FCC, and Australian/New Zealand standards. Each device type is individually assessed based on documentation and, where necessary, physical testing, reinforcing a robust compliance regime. | Telecommunications Act No. 1 of 2008 | 0002-12-06 | Good |
