Radio and telecommunications equipment destined for the Trinidad and Tobago market falls under the regulatory purview of the Telecommunications Authority of Trinidad and Tobago (TATT), established under the Telecommunications Act 2001. TATT is an independent authority mandated to standardise and certify telecommunications and broadcasting equipment, manage the radio frequency spectrum, and ensure that all equipment placed on the market meets the applicable technical requirements.

Equipment certification with TATT is mandatory for all radio transmitting devices intended for import or commercialisation in Trinidad and Tobago. The certification framework is built around internationally recognised standards. TATT accepts existing FCC and CE/ETSI certifications as the technical basis for its evaluation, meaning manufacturers already holding these certifications can proceed without undergoing additional local testing.

No physical samples need to be submitted, no local representative needs to be in place, and no specific product labelling is imposed beyond what the originating certification already requires. Certificates are valid for a period of 5 years from the date of issue, after which renewal is required.

From the point of submission of a complete documentation package, the certification process typically concludes within 5-6 weeks. Our team takes ownership of the entire process, from the initial assessment of your existing certifications through to the final submission to TATT, so your product reaches the Trinidad and Tobago market without unnecessary back and forth.
