Cost of WPC ETA Approval License, way too much and officers have a rude behaviour, check their notice board.

Can somebody help me understand THIS-WPC ETA is required for each make and type of transmitter. But if some transmitter is already approved by WPC(like Frsky X9d listed in wpc website), Do we have to get ETA for it for each individual? Or can we get the ETA from someone who has done this and show it to custom official and get to?

If someone already have the license then he can do everything for u and u can take the tx from him. But why would a person having licence is ready to help u?
All LHS do have licence and so they sell equipment and they expect profits in return.
So if a person has it then probably he would sell them for profit which would be similar to what LHS are doing.


Balakrishna Reddy

I cannot say that their points are invalid but its upto you. But still if you want to try your luck then please go ahead but there is always a threat from customs. However if above points are valid then you can import with WPC licence.

Has anything changed or is this just luck?

I must have bought stuff worth 1.3L from BG in the past 2 months that included all kinds of RC stuff (even radios!). Got everything in fine condition and without any customs issues (even for stuff that came via India Direct Mail).

Come to think of it, I've never faced any problems for stuff ordered from BG. 

Balakrishna Reddy

what shipping did you chose while checking out? If it was India Direct Mail then I would ask you to check it once again on BG.

I am posting this on what i read and understood from (wpc, dgca, dgft, customs) about our drones, RF remote while on import.

ETA-(WPC) :- Eqiupment Type Approval (Wireless planning & coordination wing)
DGCA :- Directorate general of civil aviation
DGFT :- Directorate general of foreign trade

This would be like summarised points and FAQ.

According to EXIM( export import) policy of dgft:-
*  importing drone(micro, small, medium, large) requires ;
     step1: ETA from WPC
     step2: import clearance from DGCA
     step3: import licence from DGFT

     But for nano drone (≤250g) operates in de - licensed band requires ;
     step1: ETA (WPC) only
     and does not require step2 and step3.

And by EXIM policy of dgft:-
*  importing (radio remote control apparatus) is require step1:ETA (WPC) only and exempted from
    step2 and step3.

Details of steps:-

Step1: ETA (WPC) Fees ₹10,000 for a make/model
And there are two types
  _type(i):- ETA through self-declaration {online service}
    *    This type is applicable to the products which are exempted from import licence and working in de
          - licensed fr bands
          Eg:- nano drone (≤250g), radio tx are applicable to this method if they operates in license free
          bands. Because since they're exempted from import licence.
         
          Link:-
         
_ type(ii):- ETA through normal procedure
     *    This is applied through RLO (regional licensing office) wpc and applicable to the products which
           are required import licence.
           Eg :- drone( micro, small, medium, large)  applicable to this method, since they're required
           import licence.

Step2:- import clearance from dgca } fees - don't know
Step3:-import license from dgft        }
     These steps can be applied through digital sky platform.
      Eg:- drone(micro, small, medium, large) are applicable.

FAQ:
Q1. Whether ETA obtained for make/model by one person can be used by another ?
Ans:- yes, for ETA through self declaration. But ETA (normal procedure) I don't know.

Q2. Whether nano drones and radio remote tx are required only ETA (self-declaration) by customs while on imports?
Ans :- yes, that's enough. But if you are going to freshly apply ETA through self-declaration for a new make/model means, have to pay ₹10,000 as fees. But there are make/model already ETA (self-declaration) obtained by some persons, eg:- dji mavic mini, futaba tx, frsky x9d+ etc and if you are going to import the above said one, then download the ETA from website and show to customs. You are free from ₹10,000 fees.




Any corrections are invited.
Thank you.

Thanks for providing required info. I'm trying to get same for FPV transmitter and video receiver.
When go to saralsanchar site and apply for ETA, it asks me registration type. Its not clear what do we select as an individual doing this for hobby.
Only option relevant I see is WPC Exams/Certificates.
But it does not sound correct as it looks like for some examination.

Can you please suggest?

Thanks,
Nishant
