Venezuelan Official Gazette No. 43.208, published on September 8, 2025, promulgates Provision No. 217, dated September 4, 2025, updating the categorization of telecommunications equipment and devices subject to approval and certification by the National Telecommunications Commission (CONATEL), which repeals Administrative Regulation No. 736, dated December 12, 2005 that was previously published in the Official Gazette of Venezuela No. 38.381 on February 16, 2006.
Under this new regulation, the certification of telecommunications equipment and devices will be the official document issued by Comision Nacional de Telecomunicaciones (CONATEL) authorizing the importation, distribution, marketing, and use of the equipment in Venezuela. This requirement takes effect from the date of publication, September 8, 2025.
This new regulation specified Venezuelan Customs now require a certified copy of the certificate for importation.
The approval process remains unchanged, but the CONATEL certificate must now be provided at the time of import declaration for goods containing the equipment and devices specified in the regulation.
