Conditional Approval is the pathway by which a foreign-produced Covered-List device regains access to US equipment authorization. Applications are reviewed with the national-security agencies, and the review examines three things: who owns you, who supplies you, and whether your US manufacturing plan is real.
Three facts shape strategy. Only grants are published — denials never are, but they follow you inside the agencies. Family grants are now standing practice — one strong evidentiary core can carry a product line. And recent grants attach onshoring conditions — the manufacturing plan is no longer decoration. It is the deal.
Covered status by product, grandfathering position, pathway selection, and a documented risk-factor assessment against published grant patterns. Ends in a written recommendation. We decline the cases we would not bet on.
Corporate structure and beneficial ownership, tier-two supply-chain mapping, and the manufacturing plan — site, partner, capital phasing, hiring — built to the standard recent grants have set.
Submission by email to the category's intake address — [email protected] for inverters and robotics — as a machine-readable PDF. We manage supplemental requests and all agency correspondence. Your engineers speak to us, not to Washington.
Publication, a condition-compliance calendar, then standard equipment authorization through accredited laboratories. Filing-to-grant intervals are not published; what is observable is the register's batch cadence — grants publish every week or two — and the application window for the new categories, which runs through January 1, 2028.
Attestation and re-certification against the rising content floor — 65 percent today, 75 from 2029 — responsible-party coverage, condition reporting. The grant is the beginning of the relationship.
The queue after July 28 rewards early, complete applications. Late, thin ones wait behind them.
