FCC IDs for Xerox DandeTigers ...? - test-drb@ccmp.vtda.org

24 Feb 2004

They were probably built around 1983 or so.  As for why the customs care... I 
dunno:  they just do.  Every time I have to ship stuff to the U.S. I have to 
provide copies of form FCC 740 (Statement regarding the Importation of Radio 
Frequency Devices Capable of causing Harmful Interference) for monitors and 
computers.  Sometimes (and I'll have to figure out exactly what the 
circumstances are) I also need a form FD 2877 (Food & Drug Administration: 
Declaraion for Products Subject to Radiation Control Standards).

And you thought Canadian bureaucracy was bad!

Anyway, thanks for the info.  I'll fill out the forms accordingly and hope for 
the best.

When were those built?  If it was before the early 1980s, there wasn't
any such thing as an FCC ID.  If one was assigned it should be on one
of the stickers on the box, near the model and serial numbers.

If it's newer than that, you might be able to extract it from an FCC
database that supposedly exists on-line with this stuff in it, but I
know no details about that.

Why would customs care?
