Introduction

Indonesia is indeed home to a growing telecom and electronics industry, producing products like routers, modems, telephones, switches, and other internet-enabled devices. For businesses in Indonesia that plan to export these products to India, obtaining TEC certification in Indonesia is mandatory. Without a valid TEC registration certificate, telecom products cannot be legally exported, sold, or distributed in India, and shipments may face delays, customs rejections, or even legal penalties.

A TEC certificate ensures that all telecom and networking devices comply with India’s technical, safety, and quality standards as set by the Telecommunication Engineering Centre (TEC) under the Department of Telecommunications (DoT). This assures exporters that their notified products meet the Indian regulatory requirements.

What is a TEC License for Indonesian Manufacturers?

A TEC license is a mandatory approval that is required to export or sell telecom equipment covered under the Applicable Product List in India. It ensures that all telecom products meet India’s safety and technical standards before they can be sold or used. It is needed for telecom as well as internet-enabled devices such as telephones, routers, modems, switches, and other communication gadgets.

The Telecommunication Engineering Centre (TEC), which is mainly a part of India’s Department of Telecommunications (DoT), issues the license. It ensures that telecom products are safe, reliable, and meet Indian technical standards. It is legally mandatory and also helps businesses gain credibility and customer trust in India.

Who Should Apply for a TEC License in Indonesia?

Any manufacturer or exporter in Indonesia who wants to export telecom and internet-connected products in India must obtain a valid TEC license. Their application will be processed through an Authorized Indian Representative (AIR). 

Note: Importers and traders (to whom you are exporting) cannot apply directly for a TEC license for your product. Indonesian manufacturers are advised to provide the certificate to the Indian Importers so that they can get the customs clearance.

What is an AIR (Authorized Indian Representative)?

An Authorized Indian Representative (AIR) is a mandatory requirement for foreign manufacturers. Manufacturers in Indonesia who are applying for a TEC license in India should appoint an AIR to proceed with the certification process. 

Since the companies do not have a physical presence in India, they must appoint an AIR to act as their official representative. The AIR is responsible for submitting the application, coordinating with authorities, managing product testing and factory inspections, and ensuring compliance with Indian standards and market regulations that have been set by the TEC. They will act as a link between Indonesia’s manufacturers and the Authorities.
