Last updated: April 2026 dataSmartphones and miscellaneous household goods not elsewhere classified represent one of the highest-volume import groupings by value, with cellular devices alone accounting for a substantial share of US consumer electronics trade. Goods in this category originating in China have faced Section 301 tariff scrutiny, though certain consumer electronics have at various times received targeted exclusions — importers should verify current exclusion status at the 10-digit HTS level before entry. FCC equipment authorization is a separate compliance requirement for any wireless device imported for sale or use in the US, distinct from customs clearance.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
The FCC requires that radio-frequency devices — including smartphones, tablets, Wi-Fi routers, and Bluetooth accessories — obtain equipment authorization before they are marketed or imported for use in the US. Authorization is typically obtained through the Supplier's Declaration of Conformity (SDoC) or a Certification issued by an FCC-recognized Telecommunications Certification Body (TCB). CBP may detain shipments of RF devices that lack proper FCC authorization markings.
The USTR has granted product-specific exclusions from Section 301 tariffs for certain consumer electronics, including some smartphone categories, but exclusions are time-limited and subject to renewal. Importers should monitor the USTR's exclusion portal and confirm whether a valid exclusion applies to their specific HTS subheading and product description at the time of entry, as expired exclusions result in the full Section 301 rate applying retroactively to unliquidated entries.
