On July 23, 2026, the FCC released new rules requiring FCC IDs to be displayed on certain online listings for certified RF devices. The final rule has been adopted but is currently pending publication in the Federal Register, so the implementation periods have not yet started.
Key Changes
- Applicable online marketplaces will need to display a valid and accurate FCC ID.
- Manufacturers and distributors should ensure correct FCC ID information is provided to online sales partners.
- Certain existing and qualifying listings are exempt.
- The requirement will take effect 180 days after Federal Register publication for online catalogs that sell the product and 270 days after publication for applicable third-party marketplace listings.
