The Nepal Telecommunications Authority (NTA) regulates radio and telecom equipment in Nepal. Mobile phones, Wi-Fi routers, Bluetooth and IoT devices, two-way radios and network equipment need NTA type approval – or, for some low-power devices, an exemption letter – before they can be imported and used. Approval is normally based on accredited radio, EMC and safety test reports.
