<Yes, you could, but I wonder whether this would be legal, or just
<nobody cares.
<The FCC form 740 have to be filled when a HF power amplifier is being
<imported in the USA. The importer has to declare one of the cases
<listed below:
1. An equipment authorization has been issued by the FCC
2. An equipment authorization is not required but the equipment
complies with FCC technical requirements.
3. The described equipment is being imported in limited quantities for
testing and evaluation for compliance with technical requirements or
marketing suitability. The equipment will not be offered for sale or
otherwise marketed.
4. The described equipment is being imported in limited quantities for
demonstration at industry trade shows and will not be offered for sale
or otherwise marketed.
5. The described equipment is being imported solely for export. It
will not be offered for sale or otherwise marketed in the U.S.
6. The described equipment is being imported for use exclusively by
the U.S. Government
7. Three or fewer radio receivers, computers, or other unintentional
radiators as defined in Part 15 of the FCC Rules, are being imported
for an individual's personal use and are not intended for sale.
8. The described equipment in being imported for repair and will not
be offered for sale or otherwise marketed .
There is no case like this: The equipment does not comply with FCC
requirements but is imported for an individual use.

## Interesting. So other than the –42 db harmonic suppression, what else
is
required to make an HF amp meet FCC technical requirements ?
## Number 2 on the list above should pass muster...so should number 3.
## Or you could call it a box of misc electronic parts. IE: non
functional item.
## Or have the amp shipped partially assembled..like missing some items,
like the
LP filter assy, power supply, tubes, etc, etc. Then ship those items
separately..a week
later. Then assemble into a working amp.
## The german amp at http://rf-kit.de/en/ comes in kit form. You
just spend a
day plugging in wiring harness, LP filter assys, etc, etc, just like a
heathkit. with no
or minimal soldering. It’s a box of parts.
## The 11m ops import those 4Z4 SS kw amps by the thousands with zero
issues.
LP filter? Who needs one on 11M ? What are they saying it is ?

During my RadioKit years I used to ship the big Ameritron amps to QRP
countries as active antenna tuners; never got stopped.
