Last updated: April 2026 dataCellular and wireless network telephones that do not qualify as smartphones — including vehicle-installed radio telephones (8517140020), cellular radiotelephones for personal communications services (8517140050), and other wireless handsets not elsewhere specified (8517140080) — are classified here. China is the dominant supplier, with Vietnam and Taiwan also significant. The vehicle-installed radio telephone line is particularly relevant to automotive OEM and fleet-management importers, as it covers factory-fitted or aftermarket cellular units designed for in-vehicle installation rather than handheld use. Section 301 tariffs apply to Chinese-origin goods across this heading.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
Cellular units specifically designed and marketed for installation in motor vehicles — such as fleet telematics modems or factory-fitted in-vehicle communication systems — are classified under 8517140020. Handheld cellular devices that happen to be used in vehicles but are not designed for fixed installation remain under 8517140050 or 8517140080 depending on their network type. Technical specifications and the manufacturer's intended-use documentation are key to supporting the correct line.
The smartphone heading (851713) captures devices with advanced multi-function computing capabilities and a full operating system. Basic or feature phones — those offering voice calls, SMS, and limited data functions without a full smartphone OS — are classified under 851714. The classification boundary can be contested for mid-tier devices; importers should document the device's OS, processing architecture, and marketed functionality, and consider requesting a CBP binding ruling for high-volume lines.
