The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has published the final revised rule in the Federal Register, which will take effect on October 13, 2026. The new rule prohibits the issuance of FCC certification for devices containing "logic-bearing hardware components" manufactured by entities on the Covered List. It covers complete units, modules, subassemblies and integrated circuits. Even if the complete device is produced by a non-restricted entity, applications for a new FCC ID will be rejected as long as the device incorporates restricted components. Such devices will not be allowed for import customs clearance, offline sales or listing on major e-commerce platforms such as Amazon.
