There's a huge difference between running tests for "intentional radiators" and "unintentional radiators".

Actually I'm in a similar boat. I am looking for a source of the -07 modules, especially if I get can them assembled with pins. These would be in a system that already has to go through "unintentional radiation" certification so that's not a concern for me.

As to importing, are you looking for a source of the modules, or legal advice on importing? Can't help with the latter.
We've been paying about $2.50/module for -07 and -12 varieties in relatively small batches from China. So far no duds out of a few hundred of them.

Guys,
I think we are missing the subject here. Reliable source of non-defecting modules is secondary (although very important). Primaty issue is can we use these modules at all?
Of course it is, because if you use WiFi module in your product it must have a certification for oth "intentional radiator" (which is err... your WiFi module
) and "unintentional radiator", which is the whole circutry clocked at some frequency.
Now, if the module has a FCC modular certificate, this certificate is passed onto your device, and you have to do only "unintentional radiator" tasts - which are much much cheaper and simpler.
There has been a lot of polemics about this: viewtopic.php?f=13&t=1179 and I am surprised that we still do not have an aswer to this basic subject: can we or can we not build real-world products with ESP8266 module (even if this is ESP12, I do not mind the model now)?
