Bolivia ATT - Type Approval: Overview
The Autoridad de Regulación y Fiscalización de Telecomunicaciones y Transportes (ATT) is the national regulatory authority responsible for overseeing telecommunications, broadcasting, and the management of radio frequency spectrum in Bolivia. ATT ensures that all telecommunications and radio equipment entering the Bolivian market complies with national technical regulations related to spectrum usage, electromagnetic compatibility, and operational safety.
Any equipment that uses the radio spectrum or connects to public telecommunications networks must obtain type approval from ATT before it can be imported, marketed, or distributed in Bolivia. This approval process verifies that the device complies with Bolivia’s technical standards and will not cause harmful interference to existing telecommunications networks.
ATT accepts internationally recognized test reports (such as FCC or CE) as supporting documentation for the approval process, which helps streamline certification for global manufacturers.A local representative in Bolivia is required to submit and manage the certification application with ATT. The typical approval lead time ranges from approximately 5 to 8 weeks, depending on the completeness of the documentation and the complexity of the device.
Our regulatory experts help simplify market access to Bolivia by managing the entire ATT approval process, coordinating documentation, and ensuring compliance with all national requirements.

Devices that do not transmit signals and are not intended for telecommunications purposes are generally exempt from ATT Type Approval in Bolivia. This typically includes receiver-only devices, which do not actively transmit radio frequency signals.
However, from a compliance and market assurance perspective, it is strongly recommended to obtain an official exemption letter from ATT. Securing this document provides formal confirmation from the regulator, helping avoid potential delays during customs clearance, product importation, or market inspections. Our team can assist in preparing and submitting the exemption request to ensure a smooth and fully documented market entry process.
