Mobile phones can be posted to the US with lithium battery restrictions (must be installed in device, under 100Wh). USPS, FedEx, and UPS all accept phones with batteries installed. Phones must be FCC-compliant for legal use in the US. Commercial quantities may trigger customs review. Enforcement in United States carries fines from USD 250 to USD 10,000 under 19 USC § 1497 (failure to declare); 39 USC § 3005 (postal fraud) (typical personal cases are handled as civil infringements).
Single phone for personal use clears with purchase receipt. Multiple units declare at Red Channel; commercial sale at destination requires local certification (FCC, CE, BIS, NCC, MIC).
