FSB notification
An FSB notification is a registered notification of the characteristics of encryption (cryptographic) means. It is required to import most electronics with encryption functions.
Almost all modern devices with Wi-Fi, Bluetooth or cellular connectivity fall under the notification requirement: laptops, smartphones, routers, smart devices. For some goods a license is required instead of a notification.
The notification is arranged before import; without it, goods with encryption will not be released. For a specific model it is important to determine in advance whether a notification is required and in what form.
