Hi @Isaac Cheng,
Welcome to Microsoft Q&A forum.
I understand you are facing challenges with the customs clearance for your Surface Pro 12 (Model 2109) in Taiwan. This is a common issue arising from the difference between the hardware’s full frequency capabilities and local regulatory restrictions.
To facilitate the clearance process, we recommend using the European regulatory specifications, which align with Taiwan’s NCC standards. Please provide the following details to your customs broker or the relevant officer:
1. Model identification
- Commercial Name: Surface Pro 12 (Copilot+ PC)
- Regulatory Model Number: 2109
- FCC ID: C3K2109
- SKU: EP2-33674
2. Regarding frequency range to declare
You should list the EU-compliant range on your declaration form: 5945 – 6425 MHz. (Note: Taiwan NCC allows 5925–6425 MHz. As the declared EU range falls entirely within this window, it demonstrates full compliance.)
3. Supporting documentation
Please download and attach the EU Declaration of Conformity for Model 2109 from the Microsoft official portal (Ctrl+F to find you device): European Union Declarations of Conformity | Microsoft
In the document, highlight the section referencing EN 303 687, which governs the 6 GHz band usage.
4. Technical explanation (in case it is required)
Additionally, if questioned about the discrepancy between international specs and your declaration, you may provide the following explanation: "While the hardware module (Qualcomm FastConnect) is capable of supporting frequencies up to 7125 MHz, the device firmware is region-locked. Selecting 'Taiwan' during the Windows setup process automatically disables all frequencies above 6425 MHz to ensure strict compliance with NCC regulations."
I hope this information is helpful. Please let me know if you require any further clarification or assistance locating the specific document.
I'm looking forward to your reply.
