Radio Dealer Licences
Normally, the importation of radio equipment into the Cayman Islands requires a valid ICT licence to operate said equipment (unless the equipment is exempted from the need for an ICT licence per Notice under s23(2) ICT Act (Networks and Services requiring a licence). This ICT licence is required for Customs clearance.
Retailers may apply for a Type U Radio Dealer Licence from the Office. This exempts the holder from having to obtain an ICT licence from the Office for any radios which they import for subsequent resale. Equipment can only be sold on to those holding a valid ICT licence for that equipment.
Licence Fee
The cost of such a Licence is currently CI$150 per annum. That sum is payable to the Office at the time of the initial application for that Licence, and thereafter on or before the annual expiry date of the Licence.
Each person who holds a Type U Radio Dealer Licence must provide to the Office each month (in an MS Excel spreadsheet format) details of the equipment sold and a list of the names, addresses and phone numbers of the person to whom they sold that radio transceiver to in the previous month.
