Under Philippine regulations, purchase and sale of radio communication equipment requires a licence. Mobile phones offered for sale, whether new or second-hand, must bear the stickers approved by the National Telecommunications Commission (NTC). Non-compliance renders the seller liable to a fine.
Some Examples
- Import and export of transmitters, transceivers, and other communications equipment require clearance from the NTC.
- Electricity- or energy-saving devices that claim to reduce electricity consumption
- Cameras and recording devices that include images or text that states or implies the device can be used to record others without their knowledge
- Cameras that are embedded in other objects or that are designed to look like other objects, such as toothbrush holders, stuffed toys, clocks, or electrical outlets
