- All IMEI numbers for eSIM and physical SIM must be printed
- The IMEI printing shall be clear and non-removable
- The IMEI numbers can be printed on the SIM Tray, the non-removable back cover, or any other reachable position
- A sample of the device must be delivered to CITC, accompanied by a letter directed to CITC
