Introduction

The WPC Import License is a compulsory approval from the Wireless Planning & Coordination (WPC) Wing of the Ministry of Communications in India for importing wireless/Bluetooth products such as Wi-Fi routers, Bluetooth speakers, drones, RFID products, smart wearable devices, etc. Even if the product has an ETA (Equipment Type Approval), you will not be able to import it commercially without a valid WPC Certificate for Import since Customs would not authorize it.

What is a WPC Import License ?

The WPC Import License is a formal authorization given by the Wireless Planning and Coordination Wing (WPC) under the Ministry of Communications, Government of India.

It is a requirement when importing wireless, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and RF-enabled devices into India, including but not limited to routers, Bluetooth speakers, smart watches, RFID devices, drones, and others.

Even if you have already received an ETA (Equipment Type Approval), you still cannot clear shipments at Indian customs without it.

In other words:

  • ETA License = Indicates that the product has been approved for Indian frequency
  • WPC Import License = allows for the legal importation of that approved product in India.

Why You Must Have WPC License for Import?

A wireless equipment import without an acceptable WPC Import License, comes with serious risks:

  • Customs Holds or Seizures: Your goods could be held or refused clearance at the port.
  • Legal Penalties: You could face fines, or other legal action from the authorities.
  • Customer Attrition & Reputation Damage: It is difficult to regain trust when you sell non-compliant devices, and your customers an take their business elsewhere.
  • Delays & Additional Costs: Potentially you are exposed to demurrage fees, storage costs, legal fees, etc.
  • Having a WPC Certificate with customs simplifies your clearance process, minimizes risks, and provides peace of mind.

Benefits of WPC Import License

  • Import compliance: Import wireless products according to Indian standards and regulations, so as to prevent legal encumber, fines, or delays.
  • Market Access: This gives wireless products a test aircraft to the Indian market because WPC certification is a prerequisite for selling and distributing such products in India.
  • Consumer Safety: Make certain that the imported wireless products comply with the necessary safety standards. Therefore, as applicable to consumers, the standards are safe health, injury, and risk-free products.
  • Product Quality: Ensures that the wireless products are adhering to the required standards of technology and quality which divest consumer trust and satisfaction.
  • Prevention of Penalties: Avoids fines, confiscation of goods, and some other penalties, for having imported, wireless products in contradiction with Indian standards.
  • Reduced Risk: Diminishes the risk of recalls or bans on goods for noncompliance with Indian laws.

  • ETA( Equipment type approval) – Every equipment that is operating in de-licensed frequencies requires Equipment Type Approval (ETA) from the Wireless Planning and Coordination (WPC) Wing irrespective of whether it is an imported or locally manufactured device like any other wireless device. This includes examples such as RFID, mobile phones, Wi-Fi-enabled devices, and Bluetooth devices.
  • Network License – All support organizations indeed need to obtain a network license from the Government of India to offer communication services like a mobile network, cable or DTH, over the limited radio frequency spectrum available in India.

Products that required WPC Import License

Not all electronic equipment requires WPC approval, but every device that uses RF, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, or wireless communication requires WPC Import License. This is to ensure that the device will not interfere with India’s allocated frequency spectrum.

Common products that require WPC License for Import include:

  • Bluetooth-enabled devices – speakers, headphones, earbuds, car stereos

  • Wi-Fi products – routers, modems, access points, hotspots

  • Smart gadgets – smart watches, fitness bands, IoT devices, home automation products
