Where does the service originate?
If the SIP originates in Malta, are you really selling something into the US
or are you allowing global customers to come to you and use your server?

Thank you for your reply.
Wouldn’t that apply if you were the one selling to the end user? Likewise,
if I export product to the US, it would be the importer who would have to
have trading permits, import licences etc.

For an authoritative answer you'll need a lawyer. Which I am not.
People selling telephone service in the US file an FCC Form 499-A. The
instructions for form 499-A are linked below and they'll mention other
taxation and regulatory fees and forms that must be dealt with such as
USF, TRS, NANPA, LNPA, and ITSP fees.

I have no idea whether any or all of this applies to what you are doing,
but if you are selling a telephone service within the US, I find it likely
that Uncle Sam will want a piece of your pie.

Hi Guys,
Do you know if we need any special FCC permit to sell SIP services to a
US based ISP?
We are based in Malta in the EU.
Thanks
