The European Union comprises of 28 member states and 4 EFTA member states which allow the free movement of goods - all accepting the CE mark and conformance to EU standards and regulations for products entering their country.

There is a common misconception among manufacturers that FCC certification is sufficient for Central America and the Caribbean, however this is not the case. While FCC certification is necessary, the vast majority of countries have their own TA regulations in place.
PCS do, however, understand that the Caribbean is a small market and therefore our charge for any of the Caribbean countries is extremely competitive.
Highlights
Over 1200 Approvals obtained for Mexico, Central American and the Caribbean to date!
Significant improvement to lead-times and pricing.
