FCC ID Number Vendors

I know this has been answered before, but I cannot remember the answer,
nor can I find the file, nor does it show up in a cursory search.

Are vendors required to supply prospective customers with FCC ID numbers
on request for the radios they are selling. If so, can someone point me
to the reg or law on this?

Thanks much.

Can anyone answer the question I asked in the original post?

What you and Jeff are ignoring throughout this entire thread is that the
original poster is referring to products that are marketed on the web
and elsewhere, NOT products in hand after purchase, which display NO
user ID. The original question remains unanswered, either by you or
anyone else here.
