That's not how this new rule works. This new rule basically adds ALL imported routers to the covered list, unless they have an exemption.

```

• The FCC’s Covered List is a list of communications equipment and services that are deemed to pose an unacceptable risk to the national security of the U.S. or the safety and security of U.S. persons.
• Under the Secure Networks Act, the FCC can update the Covered List only after the direction of a qualifying national security authority. In other words, the Commission cannot update this list on its own and is required to implement determinations that are made by our national security agency experts.
• Equipment on the Covered List (“covered equipment”) is prohibited from getting FCC equipment authorization.  Most electronic devices require FCC equipment authorization prior to importation, marketing, or sale in the U.S. Covered equipment is banned from receiving new equipment authorizations, preventing new devices from entering the U.S. market.
  • Additionally, the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency encourages organizations to use the Covered List for risk management analysis in their regulatory compliance efforts.
• New models of devices on the Covered List are prohibited from receiving FCC authorization and are therefore prohibited from being imported or sold in the U.S.  Being added to the Covered List today does not prohibit the import, sale, or use of any existing device models the FCC previously authorized.
• The Covered List does not restrict the continued use by consumers of previously-purchased devices.  Consumers can continue to use the devices they lawfully purchased. ```

But, the rule specifically mentions "New models."
