Electronic appliances

In general the sale of electronic appliances is allowed at Tradera, however some electronic appliances have restrictions or are prohibited by law (such as police scanners, radio equipment and radar detectors).

Why do we have this rule?

Some electronic appliances are prohibited by law, both to sell and to own. Other appliances are regulated and require a permit. You can read more at the Swedish board of communications webpage PTS.
