Jordan TRC Updates Import Approval Procedures for Telecom Equipment

On September 16, 2025, the Telecommunications Regulatory Commission (TRC) of Jordan released Instructions No. 2 of 2025, providing conditional guidance for the approval of imported telecommunications and communications equipment. The update introduces streamlined processes, updated test report requirements, and an expanded list of exempted products.

Key Updates

• • Accredited Test Reports: Test reports must now be issued by laboratories recognized under ILAC-MRA accreditation.
• • Approval Validity: New authorizations obtained by local companies, as well as renewal approvals, are valid for one year. Renewal validity starts from the issue date of the new certificate.
• • Expanded Exemption List: Products no longer requiring TRC approval include scanners, projectors, data display devices, laptops, wireless accessories (mouse, keyboard, headset, charger), cables, empty enclosures, infrared remote controls, hard drives, storage devices, GPS navigators without high-power radio transmitters, and electronic components without radio modules.

Impact for Importers and Manufacturers

These updates simplify the import approval process, reduce unnecessary testing for low-risk equipment, and provide clarity on which products are exempt. Importers and manufacturers should review their product portfolios to ensure compliance with the new TRC instructions and take advantage of the streamlined approval pathways.
