Understanding TPRA Type Approval in Sudan: A key requirement for Market Access

In North Sudan, all telecommunications and radio equipment must be approved by the Telecommunications and Post Regulatory Authority (TPRA) before it can be imported, marketed, or used. This process is called Type Approval, and it ensures that devices comply with Sudan’s technical, safety, and spectrum regulations.

1. Who Must Obtain TPRA Type Approval for Telecom Equipment in Sudan?

Any business intending to import telecom or RF equipment in Sudan must first complete the TPRA Type Approval process.

• Devices with radio interfaces (Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, cellular, satellite, etc.) must always be approved.

• Only receiver devices (such as GNSS-only receivers, amplifiers, and similar non-transmitting equipment) are exempt from the approval process.

2. Concerned Authority

The approval process is managed by the Telecommunications and Post Regulatory Authority (TPRA) of North Sudan.

3. Required Documents
